Anytime Brian goes 5 min without saying a word you know he has a advertisement in the chamber, and the satisfaction that briefly goes across his face when he gets that perfect opportunity to plug it into the conversation is in itself comedy gold
I’m watching Mike’s special now. Nate is the epitome of the saying a flame doesn’t lose its flame by lighting another candle. He believes in all of his friends and willing to do anything (include use his name) to give his friends a platform to increase their following. I’ve discovered so many new (clean) comics because of Nate! I’ve been a big fan of Nate (even met him at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington in 2014) and appreciate his stance on providing clean comedy for families to enjoy together.
Vecchione is one of the quietest...most quiet...however you're supposed to say that (correct me Weber) Italians that I've ever seen. So soft spoken, but also hilarious. I'm new to the Nateland world, a buddy of mine told me the dead horse joke (in his own words) a couple of weeks ago, and I thought the way HE told it was hilarious, but then I watched the special and when Nate told it, I was crying from laughing. Respect to the other comics on the 'cast, but Nate has the best delivery of any comic I've ever heard. I quickly went from "this guy is funny" to "I want to hear every word this man has ever said that has been recorded", so I've been bouncing back and forth between specials, old podcasts, and listening to the new stuff. Hello World was incredible, whole family watched it and laughed hysterically throughout, BUT my favorite Nate joke so far has to be "I don't want to eat a chicken that had a dream..." leading into "I want to eat a chicken that when they come to him he says 'okay, I'm ready for this'..." Keep up the good work folks. Let's go. And hey bear. (Still have no idea why I'm saying it, but I'm going to say it anyway.) 🤷🏻♂
My wife is usually working when I watch Nateland each week. She was here today. Her response after just a few minutes: “they’re not gettin it”. I told her that sums up the podcast perfectly 👌🏼 Love you guys 😊
Hey bear, I'm glad Dusty is back. I grew up in a RV park in Florida and then lived in a trailer park in Georgia for years. Good to have someone on this pod for our kinda people. Where having a good time
I'm new to the podcast, I started watching around the new year. I absolutely love it. You guys are genuine, kind and create an atmosphere that feels really welcome. Thank you for making Wednesday's funnier. I look forward to next week!
Brian telling Mike that he can still like that girls pictures is my favorite part. You can hear the excitement and years of online dating in his voice.
Nate gets so embarrassed and uncomfortable with his own Anne Frank joke during the Helix add read. His face turned red, he started rubbing his legs, and looked at the team behind the cameras. It was my favorite. I’m so glad that moments like this are NOT edited out. Please don’t start. #yayDustyisBack
Vincent D’Onofrio was in Full Metal Jacket, The Break-Up, Men In Black, and Law & Order and Dusty went with “He played the Thor guy in Adventures in Babysitting.” Classic Nateland.
This was such an interesting topic. The 2 hours felt like it passed by quickly. Good job Mike V. for bringing all the info to the podcast! I truly enjoy listening to you guys! Sometimes I feel like I look like a weirdo laughing out loud in my car by myself because of something you guys have said. Glad to be part of the Nateland world!
Dusty, I was at the Corning, Ca show and it was a blast. We drove up from SF. And yes, the smell was insane and the gamblers were NOT having a good time. You did such an awesome job working with that woman who yelled out that odd “March 17th!!” as you were talking about country music. We got a good laugh. And the Folks came out in droves. Thanks for coming out West again! Peace Brother
When Brian said “hello sleepy head” in reference to Mike V. it reminded me of my grandfather who didn’t understand the idea of “sleeping in.” As a teenager, when I spent the summer at my grandparents house, I was greeted every morning with his large clapping hands in front of my face as he repeated “get off the drugs” until I woke up. Aaaah, good times. 😂❤
I recently discovered you through having discovered Dusty and boy are you fun & relaxing to watch/listen to. Often times I stay away from podcasts because the stress of potentially missing something and then having to go back and re-watch is too much for me at my ripe old age of 45. Don't worry, you'll get there, when you're old, ask BRINE. When I watch you and the guys it's nice that I can just have it on in the background and focus on it whenever I hear Aaron's teakettle laugh. Great job on the adreads, very subtle and genuinely generate interest. I love that through Dusty I've been exposed to your comedy which is so good and now I've watched a couple short clips of Aaron, BRINE, and now Mafia Mike. I just bought tickets to your upcoming Hershey PA show in May, can't wait, I"m super excited. Keep the faith! -Mario (ps - my handle is pronounced "duh debil" as in the devil. A nickname my friends gave me back when I used to drink because I'd buy everyone shots. Been sober 5+ years and they haven't given me a new nickname which is kinda messed up)
Thank you for starting Nateland Entertainment! My kids walk around quoting Nate from Hello World. I love that I can play this channel and not worry about what they'll hear but I am still laughing so hard. Keep up the good work, Natelanders! 1:00:42
Never thought I'd learn so much from this podcast! I loved hearing Mike talk about the mafia. Can't wait to watch his new special. I saw him open for nate in northampton, MA. Mike made a joke about witches and someone had to tell him how far away from Salem we were. It was very funny.
Can not wait to see you in Auckland New Zealand ! Just bought tickets , so I can fly up from the South Island to shout Hey Bear live 😆 how good! My wife and I love your work from down under … thanks for heading this way!
This was such a great episode! This one moved Greg’s peanut butter episode from my number one spot to number two. I love gangster everything having to do with the mob, and Vecchione’s voice is perfect for explaining this stuff. Black Mass was a great movie, the Soprano’s, everything mentioned in this episode is just great stuff. Nice work on this one guys! As always hate when it ends, but looking forward to next week.
Nate, Bumblebee, Grill Master and Dusty, hello folks! I just wanted to say, this podcast means the world to me. I have watched every one at least once and some up to 4 or 5 times. You have made me cry, inspired, and side splitting, tears in my eyes, laughter. I am so grateful the cast was today. Unfortunately, my poor doggo, I've had for 17 years went into a seizure and was in immense pain. This of course, happens at 3 A.M. I had to make one of the most difficult decisions in my life with no support around me, due to the hours. I went home and put it on. And another great one here today! Love you guys and thank you so very much.
Thank you Nateland for doing me the tremendous honour of reading my tennis replay comment. It has no likes or replies but B-Pap has an eagle eye and is on the ball. Loved when Dusty said “well this guy doesn’t believe in spaces in his name”; that was great. I have listened since the beginning, and the closest I ever had to having my comment read was when B-Pap said “people write these long stories and we really can’t read them”. Pretty sure he was talking about me. Love Andrew
Hey guys… love the podcast! I found you all in the middle of 2022 and then binged all the episodes in about 3 months. Quick question about the mob… have any of you watched Tulsa King with Stallone? Very cool mob show! Mike Vecchione’s special was awesome! Thanks for the weekly laughs
Hey bear! Longtime listener and love everything about this episode especially the part where to Dusty compares the fearless life style the mobsters had to an alcoholic. I've struggled on and off with alcohol for some time now and he is spot on with that analogy.
Hey Bear and Hello Folks Long time listener, first time commenter here from Lake Geneva, WI. I started listening to the podcast from the beginning in August 2022 while I am at work. It has taken me 6 months of listening to about 1.5 each work day and I can officially say I am at a bittersweet point… I’m all caught up and now have to wait each week for a new podcast to come out. While not every podcast has me laughing consistently, they are a silly, entertaining and educational way to fill my part time work day. Nate is by far my favorite comedian and is hilariously predictable in his use of “good night”, Aaron way to go in losing weight and your marriage. Dusty you’ve proven to be a fun addition to the group and you do a great job not being offended at their teasing of what appears to be several topics we totally agree on and last but not least, Breakfast Bates you are the glue that holds them all together with your research and online stalking abilities! And congratulations on your 1 year old baby girl. Keep it up boys!!
I check this ‘cast out often enough but I checked in based on the strength of your homeboy’s special. He knocked it out for the entire run. Good lookin’ out
Loved this episode! Back in the early aughts I was really into true crime stories & mafia stuff. It was back when Netflix was still mailing DVD's only and I was renting all of the classic mob movies. My buddy I was living with said he started getting worried about me! 🤣
I feel like Mike would be so good at improv. Has he ever done any?? The way he delivers jokes in conversation is my absolute favorite. Love when mike is on🫶🏼
Hey Brian, sorry I didn't leave a comment last week. I'm moving soon so I've been busy packing and we went from amazing spring weather to cold rain so that been a damper. I've heard bags of chips are half full bc if they were completely full they would all get crushed so the air in the bag is supposed to b some type of packing. Hear from ya next week
My dad has spent thousands having his wiring repaired on his car because of chipmunks/squirrels in rural Indiana just like Bygone Bates. I have been waiting anxiously for Brian's Drybar special to come out. Hoping it makes enough money for Brian to build a garage! I'd love an ETA on the special!
As a native of Mt. Juliet, TN I'm a huge fan of the podcast. My brother and several close friends from middle Tennessee have ended up the the same area of Brooklyn which is a lot of fun. We're starting families and plan to raise our kids in the city, but would love your thoughts: how should we keep them connected to their TN roots?
Hey, so whatever happened during Nate’s golf game with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett? Hosts from my two favorite podcasts and my favorite TV show combined on the golf course. My head almost exploded thinking about it.
Thanks guys for another great show. By the way Halbgewachs is my real last name. I can barely pronounce it myself. At the end of the show as soon as Nate says "bye" Nate, Mike, and Dusty, immediately pull their headphones off and turn away from each other. The Big Bopper stays seated looking like, "what the problem let's do another hour." After every show those headphones come flying off. Must be itchy or sweaty or something.
Great job to Indeed for finding a winner to fill the open fourth seat on the podcast. You probably should have added computer skills to the list of required skills though. Dusty was struggling, but great job, Mike V. During the comments you were discussing wrestling and the hypothetical matchup of Mike V, Joe Z, and/or Greg W and Mike V. IMMEDIATELY started tossing excuses for losing to Joe Z. "I don't think he's a pushover. I think he's tougher than we think." I also found it funny when you were discussing mafia movies and Nate said he hadn't seen the first Godfather movie. Mike mentioned a clip from Family Guy where they discussed the Godfather movie, then quietly said "Give it a look. It's a classic. It won the Oscar, I think." I couldn't help but think "Its a movie about the mafia. They were probably too scared to NOT give it the Oscar." Great podcast, as always. Thanks for the education and occasional laughs. P.S. Great to hear baby Bates is doing well. We have a 30yr old daughter with a life experience similar to hers.
Hey bear! The term is "tree hugger," but Dusty is a "tree grabber." With Earth Day just around the corner, that would be a funny t-shirt, barefoot Dusty squeezing on a tree beside the highway. Also, I'm really looking forward to Vecchione's special! I've listened to him (and Soder's stories about him) for years on The Bonfire, and I found his comedy thru them! He's really funny- a great actor, too!
Scored tickets to the Enmore Theatre (near) Sydney tried to get seats in the 5pm show but scored second row at the 8pm! Can’t tell you how pumped I am to see your (2nd) opening show in Australia!! 🇦🇺 Hey Bear!
1:10:40 I was taking my lunch while watching this episode. I choked badly watching Anne Frank Helix Mattress bit. Today's podcast was awesome. Mike V really knows his stuff.
Dear Mike, your hair looks great! You are exactly what this podcast is often missing!! Also, I’m glad to see dusty wasn’t about to ‘Soder’ the podcast and go off on his own 😮💨😮💨❤
I mean it sounds like the Bonfire contract was really restrictive for Soder and not really big jay. Cant say i blame him. I do miss him on it though, bobby is fine but not the same
Thank you for introducing a whole slew of funny comics I probably would never have listened to. If i hadn't stumbled across Nate's clip about his wife enjoying her childhood dreams of vacuuming and such, I'd never have heard of Bates ("laugh track" - good one!), Weber like the grill, Michelle Vecchione, Greg Warren and Leanne Morgan to name a few. And of course, Dusty Slay! Nate's now my favorite comic, bumping off Sebastian Maniscalco and Louis CK. On par with Jim Gaffigan, if I may.
As a folk from Eastern Kentucky and a history teacher, I have to correct Dusty about his Hazard/Harlan confusion. Harlan is the county seat of Harlan County. Hazard is the county seat of Perry County named after Oliver Hazard Perry, a naval commander who won the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
When I went to Europe, my fave thing I discovered was: the difference in condoms offered in machines in women’s bathrooms. Seriously. I started noticing in Germany & as we went thru Italy they were different sizes. Spain had colors. Just in machines with no reference. Amazing. Was with my brother & we saw Leaning Tower of Pisa. He shook his head as we looked at it & said "go find a bathroom"🤣 It was my divorce trip (I was 45, he was 40)
I’m only commenting on here because I don’t have social media but hearing of the Nashville shooting I was immediately worried about you guys and loved ones. Uh not sure what else to say but sure hoping Nate’s girl didn’t go to that school 🙏
I was thinking the same thing. I just saw Nate's act in Tallahassee this past Saturday. He and his family were the first thing I thought about when I heard of the shooting. Prayers going up.
They announced the victims names and thank God, Harpers or Lauras names were not mentioned. We know Nate doesnt know what school she goes to so we know he wasnt there. LOL. Prayers sent up to all the families involved in this tragic time.
The talk about the hospital that turned into a pizza place made me think of McNamara’s in Nashville (Donelson). It’s an Irish pub in an old funeral home. Great food, but definitely a little spooky!
The fish in "fish challenge" was American player Mardy Fish who is now retired but finished 3rd at Pebble Beach this year that Nate played in and has won the ACC. Also, at big tennis events they have eliminated line judges and use the replay system for fully automated in and out calls
I had the same thought when I went to Scotland about the age of the country. I had a caddy that said when he went to Boston he laughed at his guide when they said "this one of the oldest buildings and it was built at least 1700s". He told the guide my neighbor's house was built in 1800s and we call that the new house
My father-in-law used to work for Magnavox as an engineer during the Laser Disc era. He ended up making clocks out of the laser discs he had in later years (which were pretty cool looking). I mean, what else are ya gonna do with a huge shiny disc that can't be used? Play them along with your Beta tapes and 8-tracks??
LOL! The laser discs also make pretty bird deterrents! The robins build nests around my front door and then attack the UPS guy and anyone else that comes over. I like birds but not the Hitchcock kind.
Nateland could do a gameshow called “Really interested or searching for the next bit?” Today’s episode: Would people show up with a brand new trailer at the trailer park? 😂 This is my favorite podcast! Glad Dusty is back and really missed Aaron. You guys are the best!
Late in getting to watch this episode, but wanted to say that it is great to hear that Joe Zimmerman is going to get a NE special. Vecchione's special was definitely a good one... looking forward to Joe's.
I fully approve of clean comedy appearing on the channel. 90's tv is a great description. I takes more talent to be funny without using cursing as a crutch. I'm looking forward to Mike Vechionne's special.
Went to the show in Melbourne. I couldn't believe there was no "Hey Bear" yelled, then before I know it, my wife yells "Hey Bear." We got a "Hey Bear" back from you, but I have to say, not a lot of excitement to it. It is getting a little old? I told my wife later, a good part of the crowd probably thought she was nuts, having no idea the significance. By the way, the show was very funny. Some of the best stuff yet. Keep it up.
Look how far we’ve come - from Nate’s sibling’s coworker talking about Bigfoot, to Mike “The Mob Encyclopedia” Vecchione. Seriously, anytime Mike or Greg are on the pod, it’s a great episode. Who needs experts? We have comedians!
I never truly appreciated how old Europe was until my honeymoon. My wife and I commented how old everything looked and if we were back home all the buildings would’ve been demolished to rebuild something newer. Also, the tiny elevator shafts barely big enough for one person and would shake like a scary movie and by the lack of air-conditioning inside the hotel room. I would lay in bed sweating with the window open complaining while my wife asked how I enjoy going camping.
Brian has me listening these days guessing when the next advertisement transition is coming. When they were discussing Van Gogh and the madman mayor I kept saying here comes an advertisement for “better help“ and then Brian sat there just smile and looking at Nate I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming.
MIke seems like type of guy who when doing comedy and getting a laugh and would stop show and say "what am I funny, im a clown, do I amuse you?".....yes sir " oh well good" I feel like I actually learned something this episode.
Re: Trailer upgrades. I also grew up in a trailer park and when my parents ordered a new single wide they literally parked it next to the old one and left it for 24hrs so we could transfer belongings. Then came back and drove the old one away.
Hello Folks! Hey Bear 🐻 Great to see Dusty is back! The Godfather and The Gf Part II are two of my favorites. Part II will turn 50 next year! Some of the best movie quotes of all time come from these movies. I was wondering if you had any favorite movie quotes of any genre. Thanks for all the laughs. Nate, Congrats on all the success!
My favorite thing about Chin Gigante, the Odd Father, he was aware the FBI was coming and busted into his condo and found him in the shower with rain boots on, holding an umbrella lol
Talking about wrestling equal opponents and Dusty yellin out "there's a lot of air in that bag!" was soo funny to me... is that what comedians refer to as a callback? Glad Dusty is back today!
Hello folks! I bought tickets for the May 14th show in Richmond, VA and afterwards realized that was Mother’s Day. I thought, well that stinks, but at least I sprung for the additional fee for coverage protection if something unforeseen happened. I called the Allianz Protection Plan number and they told me “personal reasons” are not covered and I could not cancel. I strongly recommend against wasting your money for “protection” or if you do pay extra for it and need to cancel, lie and say someone has died like the guy on the phone told me I should have. So yeah, super honest company!
I hear you about how old Europe is. In Australia any pub that is like 100 years old there are plaques and old photos and stuff. We were in a pub near Greenwich and I thought geez this is old. No plaques. No pictures of any consequence that spoke to its age. It was like 600 daggum years old. I was gobsmacked.
We were in Europe the same time as Nate and saw him in London on our way to Portugal. I’m glad to report that all of our gelato experiences were wonderful, I’m wondering if he did something to offend the “ice cream guy” like Elaine and the Soup Nazi 😂
The whole time I was thinking wow, Nate isn't saying "Uhhh" a whole lot.. then the last 5 minutes of the episode, he dropped about Uhhh, a thousand "Uhhhs" 😆🤷 c'mon man!
Pretty sure dusty is just watching some RUclips conspiracy videos instead of searching the actor in Black Mass for Nate. The responsibility distracts him so much, he is so more involved when Aaron does the web searches.
Wow, thanks Mike for the "kid-friendly" detailed description of the serial butchering and mafia killings. I guess with Mafia as the topic, it was inevitable. Was an interesting listen regardless
Dusty trying to pull up a map of Italy and ending up on Amazon prime instead of Google Maps made me laugh hysterically and makes me think that Brian should be in charge of the laptop instead of Dusty.
Anytime Brian goes 5 min without saying a word you know he has a advertisement in the chamber, and the satisfaction that briefly goes across his face when he gets that perfect opportunity to plug it into the conversation is in itself comedy gold
Lmao I love it! His little smile when he threw Dusty the AG add. 😂
Qq

I’m watching Mike’s special now. Nate is the epitome of the saying a flame doesn’t lose its flame by lighting another candle. He believes in all of his friends and willing to do anything (include use his name) to give his friends a platform to increase their following. I’ve discovered so many new (clean) comics because of Nate! I’ve been a big fan of Nate (even met him at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington in 2014) and appreciate his stance on providing clean comedy for families to enjoy together.
Mike has the most soothing comforting voice ever. He needs to do audiobooks too, specifically 50 shades.
Baby Breakfast updates are my absolute favorite👶🏼💝✝️🎉🌷🎂🙌🏻🙏🏻
The second Nate mentioned doing Theo's podcast, I instantly got SO excited! Cannot wait for that episode to drop ❤
Theo is one of my favorites!! Excited to watch that.
Vecchione is one of the quietest...most quiet...however you're supposed to say that (correct me Weber) Italians that I've ever seen. So soft spoken, but also hilarious. I'm new to the Nateland world, a buddy of mine told me the dead horse joke (in his own words) a couple of weeks ago, and I thought the way HE told it was hilarious, but then I watched the special and when Nate told it, I was crying from laughing.

“Is that the map from the Olive Garden?” Best line
I'm new to the podcast, I started watching around the new year. I absolutely love it. You guys are genuine, kind and create an atmosphere that feels really welcome. Thank you for making Wednesday's funnier. I look forward to next week!
Brian telling Mike that he can still like that girls pictures is my favorite part. You can hear the excitement and years of online dating in his voice.
hahahaha that's fair
Great to have Dusty back!!
I’m with ya, we need more Dustys
He should do a podcast
@@Grady_JustGrady... He has a podcast.
Nate gets so embarrassed and uncomfortable with his own Anne Frank joke during the Helix add read. His face turned red, he started rubbing his legs, and looked at the team behind the cameras. It was my favorite. I’m so glad that moments like this are NOT edited out. Please don’t start.
#yayDustyisBack
And the joke was HILARIOUS
He _does_ turn red!
And then it escalates to Helix also potentially being the unofficial sponsor of Mafia safe houses 😂
This episode had a number of great moments, but that one was over the top funny!
"I don't know if that was appropriate to say..." 😂😂😂
Let’s go folks! Mike V is one of the funniest guys out there - looking forward to it!
This was the most knowledgeable a host has been since the Bigfoot expert. MikeV knows his stuff.
Vincent D’Onofrio was in Full Metal Jacket, The Break-Up, Men In Black, and Law & Order and Dusty went with “He played the Thor guy in Adventures in Babysitting.” Classic Nateland.
This was such an interesting topic. The 2 hours felt like it passed by quickly. Good job Mike V. for bringing all the info to the podcast! I truly enjoy listening to you guys! Sometimes I feel like I look like a weirdo laughing out loud in my car by myself because of something you guys have said. Glad to be part of the Nateland world!
Need a Part 2. I watched a documentary that tied Frank Sinatra to JFK and it blew my mind. 🤯😵💫🤣 That seems like a whole 'sode topic!?
Dusty, I was at the Corning, Ca show and it was a blast. We drove up from SF. And yes, the smell was insane and the gamblers were NOT having a good time. You did such an awesome job working with that woman who yelled out that odd “March 17th!!” as you were talking about country music. We got a good laugh. And the Folks came out in droves. Thanks for coming out West again! Peace Brother
Did I just...learn a lot from a Nateland podcast episode? This is a new feeling.
I learned that when we graduate, we're assigned to a building and that Anne Frank's family owns a steakhouse that may or may not take euro.
When Brian said “hello sleepy head” in reference to Mike V. it reminded me of my grandfather who didn’t understand the idea of “sleeping in.” As a teenager, when I spent the summer at my grandparents house, I was greeted every morning with his large clapping hands in front of my face as he repeated “get off the drugs” until I woke up. Aaaah, good times. 😂❤
This sounds like a Dusty story haha
My Grandfather swore that I had some sleeping sickness as a teenager. Impossible to sleep past 6 am in that house it seemed.
Thank God for Brian's daughter's successful surgery. She is so precious, love the pictures!!! Judy

I’m one of those 9 people waiting for Mike’s special! Can’t wait!

Love you guys and thank you so very much.
P.S. for Nate, I live in Des Moines, went to purchase tickets and already sold out! I want to see all you live one day!
We absolutely need a part 2! The fact that Lucky Luciano was barely mentioned and Al Capone was completely left out is criminal! (No pun intended)
Or the Vatican military order...the Jesuits and all their missions and hand in the Chicago mob
yes i want a part 2 as well!
Thank you Nateland for doing me the tremendous honour of reading my tennis replay comment. It has no likes or replies but B-Pap has an eagle eye and is on the ball.

Hey guys… love the podcast!
I found you all in the middle of 2022 and then binged all the episodes in about 3 months.
Quick question about the mob… have any of you watched Tulsa King with Stallone? Very cool mob show!
Mike Vecchione’s special was awesome!
Thanks for the weekly laughs
Hey bear! Longtime listener and love everything about this episode especially the part where to Dusty compares the fearless life style the mobsters had to an alcoholic. I've struggled on and off with alcohol for some time now and he is spot on with that analogy.

Nate is by far my favorite comedian and is hilariously predictable in his use of “good night”, Aaron way to go in losing weight and your marriage. Dusty you’ve proven to be a fun addition to the group and you do a great job not being offended at their teasing of what appears to be several topics we totally agree on and last but not least, Breakfast Bates you are the glue that holds them all together with your research and online stalking abilities! And congratulations on your 1 year old baby girl.
Keep it up boys!!
I check this ‘cast out often enough but I checked in based on the strength of your homeboy’s special. He knocked it out for the entire run. Good lookin’ out
Loved this episode! Back in the early aughts I was really into true crime stories & mafia stuff. It was back when Netflix was still mailing DVD's only and I was renting all of the classic mob movies. My buddy I was living with said he started getting worried about me! 🤣
I feel like Mike would be so good at improv. Has he ever done any?? The way he delivers jokes in conversation is my absolute favorite. Love when mike is on🫶🏼
Nate going to Amsterdam is like bill Cosby being a role model father. It’s like Opposite Day
Hello Folks from Lapeer, Michigan. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping me keep my sanity.
Nice! I grew up in Flushing.
Hey Brian, sorry I didn't leave a comment last week. I'm moving soon so I've been busy packing and we went from amazing spring weather to cold rain so that been a damper. I've heard bags of chips are half full bc if they were completely full they would all get crushed so the air in the bag is supposed to b some type of packing. Hear from ya next week
My dad has spent thousands having his wiring repaired on his car because of chipmunks/squirrels in rural Indiana just like Bygone Bates. I have been waiting anxiously for Brian's Drybar special to come out. Hoping it makes enough money for Brian to build a garage! I'd love an ETA on the special!
I loved Mike Vecchione’s new special. I laughed hard enough to annoy my wife.
As a native of Mt. Juliet, TN I'm a huge fan of the podcast. My brother and several close friends from middle Tennessee have ended up the the same area of Brooklyn which is a lot of fun. We're starting families and plan to raise our kids in the city, but would love your thoughts: how should we keep them connected to their TN roots?
Hey, so whatever happened during Nate’s golf game with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett? Hosts from my two favorite podcasts and my favorite TV show combined on the golf course. My head almost exploded thinking about it.
Thanks guys for another great show. By the way Halbgewachs is my real last name. I can barely pronounce it myself. At the end of the show as soon as Nate says "bye" Nate, Mike, and Dusty, immediately pull their headphones off and turn away from each other. The Big Bopper stays seated looking like, "what the problem let's do another hour." After every show those headphones come flying off. Must be itchy or sweaty or something.
Saw Mike in Tampa Saturday night at Sidesplitters… great show !
Great job to Indeed for finding a winner to fill the open fourth seat on the podcast. You probably should have added computer skills to the list of required skills though. Dusty was struggling, but great job, Mike V.
During the comments you were discussing wrestling and the hypothetical matchup of Mike V, Joe Z, and/or Greg W and Mike V. IMMEDIATELY started tossing excuses for losing to Joe Z. "I don't think he's a pushover. I think he's tougher than we think."
I also found it funny when you were discussing mafia movies and Nate said he hadn't seen the first Godfather movie. Mike mentioned a clip from Family Guy where they discussed the Godfather movie, then quietly said "Give it a look. It's a classic. It won the Oscar, I think." I couldn't help but think "Its a movie about the mafia. They were probably too scared to NOT give it the Oscar."
Great podcast, as always. Thanks for the education and occasional laughs.
P.S. Great to hear baby Bates is doing well. We have a 30yr old daughter with a life experience similar to hers.
Hey bear! The term is "tree hugger," but Dusty is a "tree grabber." With Earth Day just around the corner, that would be a funny t-shirt, barefoot Dusty squeezing on a tree beside the highway. Also, I'm really looking forward to Vecchione's special! I've listened to him (and Soder's stories about him) for years on The Bonfire, and I found his comedy thru them! He's really funny- a great actor, too!
Scored tickets to the Enmore Theatre (near) Sydney tried to get seats in the 5pm show but scored second row at the 8pm! Can’t tell you how pumped I am to see your (2nd) opening show in Australia!! 🇦🇺 Hey Bear!
1:10:40 I was taking my lunch while watching this episode. I choked badly watching Anne Frank Helix Mattress bit. Today's podcast was awesome. Mike V really knows his stuff.
Excited for this special. Mikes sense of humor molests my funny bone
Dear Mike, your hair looks great! You are exactly what this podcast is often missing!! Also, I’m glad to see dusty wasn’t about to ‘Soder’ the podcast and go off on his own 😮💨😮💨❤
I mean it sounds like the Bonfire contract was really restrictive for Soder and not really big jay. Cant say i blame him. I do miss him on it though, bobby is fine but not the same
Thank you for introducing a whole slew of funny comics I probably would never have listened to. If i hadn't stumbled across Nate's clip about his wife enjoying her childhood dreams of vacuuming and such, I'd never have heard of Bates ("laugh track" - good one!), Weber like the grill, Michelle Vecchione, Greg Warren and Leanne Morgan to name a few. And of course, Dusty Slay!
Nate's now my favorite comic, bumping off Sebastian Maniscalco and Louis CK. On par with Jim Gaffigan, if I may.
1:08:25 "This coffee's burned!"
"Which urn did you get it from?"
As a folk from Eastern Kentucky and a history teacher, I have to correct Dusty about his Hazard/Harlan confusion. Harlan is the county seat of Harlan County. Hazard is the county seat of Perry County named after Oliver Hazard Perry, a naval commander who won the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of
1812.
When I went to Europe, my fave thing I discovered was: the difference in condoms offered in machines in women’s bathrooms. Seriously. I started noticing in Germany & as we went thru Italy they were different sizes. Spain had colors. Just in machines with no reference. Amazing. Was with my brother & we saw Leaning Tower of Pisa. He shook his head as we looked at it & said "go find a bathroom"🤣 It was my divorce trip (I was 45, he was 40)
I’m only commenting on here because I don’t have social media but hearing of the Nashville shooting I was immediately worried about you guys and loved ones. Uh not sure what else to say but sure hoping Nate’s girl didn’t go to that school 🙏
I was thinking the same thing. I just saw Nate's act in Tallahassee this past Saturday. He and his family were the first thing I thought about when I heard of the shooting. Prayers going up.
Me three. Very concerned, no word on social media yet from Nate or his people 💔
They announced the victims names and thank God, Harpers or Lauras names were not mentioned. We know Nate doesnt know what school she goes to so we know he wasnt there. LOL. Prayers sent up to all the families involved in this tragic time.
Go Mike! Can't wait. Great joke writer, KILLER comedian.
The talk about the hospital that turned into a pizza place made me think of McNamara’s in Nashville (Donelson). It’s an Irish pub in an old funeral home. Great food, but definitely a little spooky!
Just watched Mike's special..very funny!
The fish in "fish challenge" was American player Mardy Fish who is now retired but finished 3rd at Pebble Beach this year that Nate played in and has won the ACC. Also, at big tennis events they have eliminated line judges and use the replay system for fully automated in and out calls
I had the same thought when I went to Scotland about the age of the country. I had a caddy that said when he went to Boston he laughed at his guide when they said "this one of the oldest buildings and it was built at least 1700s". He told the guide my neighbor's house was built in 1800s and we call that the new house
Big Nate Oakerson over here with the all black and the flat bill
For a group of criminals, the Mafia sure has a bunch of rules.
I'll go proofread this now.
My father-in-law used to work for Magnavox as an engineer during the Laser Disc era. He ended up making clocks out of the laser discs he had in later years (which were pretty cool looking). I mean, what else are ya gonna do with a huge shiny disc that can't be used? Play them along with your Beta tapes and 8-tracks??
LOL! The laser discs also make pretty bird deterrents! The robins build nests around my front door and then attack the UPS guy and anyone else that comes over. I like birds but not the Hitchcock kind.
@@KellyRaeRussell oh wow!! That's a great idea!! Totally with you on the Hitchcock birds. I'm like "HEY!! I FEED YOU!!" 😂😂
@@katielizsmith LOL! I know, right?!
Yes!! Mike's back. And how specials out soon. Oh so attractive
Oh sweet baby Jesus they gave Dusty the computer 😅
I love how Nate says he’s trying to make comedy for everyone, and then does an hour of Anne Frank jokes. Looking forward to the new special about her.
hahahaaaaa
Nateland could do a gameshow called “Really interested or searching for the next bit?” Today’s episode: Would people show up with a brand new trailer at the trailer park? 😂
This is my favorite podcast! Glad Dusty is back and really missed Aaron. You guys are the best!
LETTTTS GOOOOOO! HELLO FOLKS!
I want to open an authentic Pho restaurant in an old Olive Garden and have it staffed by total guidos. I will name it Phogettaboutit!
Late in getting to watch this episode, but wanted to say that it is great to hear that Joe Zimmerman is going to get a NE special. Vecchione's special was definitely a good one... looking forward to Joe's.
I fully approve of clean comedy appearing on the channel. 90's tv is a great description. I takes more talent to be funny without using cursing as a crutch. I'm looking forward to Mike Vechionne's special.
Went to the show in Melbourne. I couldn't believe there was no "Hey Bear" yelled, then before I know it, my wife yells "Hey Bear." We got a "Hey Bear" back from you, but I have to say, not a lot of excitement to it. It is getting a little old? I told my wife later, a good part of the crowd probably thought she was nuts, having no idea the significance. By the way, the show was very funny. Some of the best stuff yet. Keep it up.
Dusty is back and Aaron is gone. Is it my birthday? What a great episode.
Look how far we’ve come - from Nate’s sibling’s coworker talking about Bigfoot, to Mike “The Mob Encyclopedia” Vecchione. Seriously, anytime Mike or Greg are on the pod, it’s a great episode. Who needs experts? We have comedians!
Such a “refreshing” episode
I never truly appreciated how old Europe was until my honeymoon. My wife and I commented how old everything looked and if we were back home all the buildings would’ve been demolished to rebuild something newer.
Also, the tiny elevator shafts barely big enough for one person and would shake like a scary movie and by the lack of air-conditioning inside the hotel room. I would lay in bed sweating with the window open complaining while my wife asked how I enjoy going camping.
Brian has me listening these days guessing when the next advertisement transition is coming. When they were discussing Van Gogh and the madman mayor I kept saying here comes an advertisement for “better help“ and then Brian sat there just smile and looking at Nate I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming.
One of the campuses of the college I attended used to be a hospital. The old morgue was used as storage space. No, it wasn’t a prestigious university.
MIke seems like type of guy who when doing comedy and getting a laugh and would stop show and say "what am I funny, im a clown, do I amuse you?".....yes sir " oh well good"
I feel like I actually learned something this episode.
Re: Trailer upgrades. I also grew up in a trailer park and when my parents ordered a new single wide they literally parked it next to the old one and left it for 24hrs so we could transfer belongings. Then came back and drove the old one away.
Hello Folks! Hey Bear 🐻 Great to see Dusty is back! The Godfather and The Gf Part II are two of my favorites. Part II will turn 50 next year! Some of the best movie quotes of all time come from these movies. I was wondering if you had any favorite movie quotes of any genre. Thanks for all the laughs. Nate, Congrats on all the success!
My favorite thing about Chin Gigante, the Odd Father, he was aware the FBI was coming and busted into his condo and found him in the shower with rain boots on, holding an umbrella lol
I'm so glad Baby Bates is doing great. So cute, had me clapping
this is an unexpected but great crossover!
Talking about wrestling equal opponents and Dusty yellin out "there's a lot of air in that bag!" was soo funny to me... is that what comedians refer to as a callback? Glad Dusty is back today!
Hello folks! I bought tickets for the May 14th show in Richmond, VA and afterwards realized that was Mother’s Day. I thought, well that stinks, but at least I sprung for the additional fee for coverage protection if something unforeseen happened. I called the Allianz Protection Plan number and they told me “personal reasons” are not covered and I could not cancel. I strongly recommend against wasting your money for “protection” or if you do pay extra for it and need to cancel, lie and say someone has died like the guy on the phone told me I should have. So yeah, super honest company!
I hear you about how old Europe is. In Australia any pub that is like 100 years old there are plaques and old photos and stuff. We were in a pub near Greenwich and I thought geez this is old. No plaques. No pictures of any consequence that spoke to its age. It was like 600 daggum years old. I was gobsmacked.
We were in Europe the same time as Nate and saw him in London on our way to Portugal. I’m glad to report that all of our gelato experiences were wonderful, I’m wondering if he did something to offend the “ice cream guy” like Elaine and the Soup Nazi 😂
The whole time I was thinking wow, Nate isn't saying "Uhhh" a whole lot.. then the last 5 minutes of the episode, he dropped about Uhhh, a thousand "Uhhhs" 😆🤷 c'mon man!
Pretty sure dusty is just watching some RUclips conspiracy videos instead of searching the actor in Black Mass for Nate. The responsibility distracts him so much, he is so more involved when Aaron does the web searches.
So we're all just going to collectively accept that Mike knows so much about the mafia just from "books and podcasts"?
Just finished Season 2 of the “Gone South” podcast about the Dixie Mafia. Craziness if anyone is looking for a podcast to listen to
Dusty attempting to be Aaron is hilarious. Nice maps Dusty.
Wow, thanks Mike for the "kid-friendly" detailed description of the serial butchering and mafia killings.
I guess with Mafia as the topic, it was inevitable. Was an interesting listen regardless
Dusty trying to pull up a map of Italy and ending up on Amazon prime instead of Google Maps made me laugh hysterically and makes me think that Brian should be in charge of the laptop instead of Dusty.
I like how Mike Vecchione causally invents serfdom. That's what they did in the Middle Ages.
Heyyyy Bear! The Man, The Myth, The Legend Dusty Slay is back folks! Let's f***ing go!!!
Part of "The Birthday Cake" was filmed at my grandma's house before they sold it.
