I loved the part near the end of this episode where Nate was sharing about how he’ll know when enough is enough, and this season of his life has come to an end. I was waiting for Dusty or Bill to say something along the lines of “you’ll know when enough is enough, when Aaron leans in, grabs your shoulder and says ...ENOUGH.” Love the show, keep up the great work gentlemen.
I am a few weeks behind in episodes, but near the end when Brian says “you had a joke about that” and can recite Nate’s joke about the plane… it’s unbelievable. I love that Brian really is Nate’s #1 fan. I’d like to think all the folks can tie for the #2 spot.
Great podcast. The fact that Nate and Dusty stay so humble while being successful is awesome. Hope the four of you continue to do this podcast for a long time.
I love you all. Nate, I love your wholesomeness. I also grew up in a Christian home and went to Christian schools. I appreciate that I can share your specials with my entire family and not be embarrassed. You are the best. God bless you all!
I love the subtle gospel being preached there at the end! Respect your approach to keep it respectful as to not alienate anyone, but the truth is the truth! Love the pod!
I also think dreaming about stressful things relevant in your life is super common among people. I definitely have had it related to my job and school life before. Can totally relate to Nate and Aaron on this one. Idk about anyone else too but sometimes I can sense almost a familiar dream place in my dreams sometimes. Like I’ve visited there before..
HEY GUYS! I found the podcast through Nate, and full disclosure, I used to skip the episodes when he was gone. After getting to know the whole crew, I’ve now gone back and listened to the ones I skipped. Not that I look forward to Nate being gone, but I do love the different feel when “Dad” is away. All that to say, Nate, you have nothing to worry about the weeks you are gone; Dusty, Aaron, and Butt-munch do an excellent job! -- Grant Harrison
39:19 when Nate is pumping Brian up and then says “you’re weak but that doesn’t mean you’re not manly” had me in tears. But real talk, Brian you’re as much a man as anyone. Being a man isn’t about fixing stuff. Being strong doesn’t just mean physically strong. Y’all are awesome men of God and that’s what matters. Blessings to you all.
Discuss everyones weekends, 30-40 minutes of comments, approximately 20 minutes on the actual topic followed by a 10-minute rant from Nate, then end episode. Hilarious how every episode goes this way. Keep it up, folks!
This is quite a community being built. It seems like we are all eager to see through a lens that shows the future as revealed at the end of this episode. In the meantime - what gifts we receive every Wednesday! Grateful to you all for the brilliant humor - pulling us all a little closer together. Can’t wait to stay tuned for future chapters.
Thanks for another great pod! Nateland Entertainment is mental floss against all the yucky plaque in the media. I enjoy Bran's research on topics and the way each of you runs with it. The way ya'll "pick at each other" makes me feel right at home. Nate, thanks to you and the whole team for making "clean" fun again. We love ya! P.s. This is the ONLY podcast I listen to without skipping through the ads, because I'm afraid I'll miss something funny.
Lost my Mom when I was only 19. She was 40. (My sister only 8 and my brother just 3). I would dream she was back with us -but I knew in my dream that it would be a short visit. I would wake up with tears streaming down my face.
I saw Aaron at Rooster T Feathers in Sunnyvale, CA last weekend. He was outstanding, super funny, and very approachable. I hope he plans to swing by our way again some time. And maybe bring along some of the other guys like Brian and Dusty. And maybe that other guy... I forget his name.
Great episode about Dreams this week. I had a recent dream I had won a contest and the Grand Prize was I got to shower with the lead singer from the band Toto. To make matters worse (if that’s even possible), there were two winners...so three of us standing in there together. Nightmare. Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing Nate perform live at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand later this summer.
Bag phones! 😂 I get the biggest kick out of Aaron having no idea what some of these things are! It’s so fun to see his reaction to the things we thought were great when he Googles it! 😂 Thank you always for the laughs… getting me through some hard times and I appreciate it.
Wait! I can’t believe it did not get a bigger reaction from the rest of the guys when Nate said he has never seen Tombstone!! That has to move to the top of your list of movies to watch, even above Shawshank!
As a comic originally from Grand Rapids I was so excited to hear you guys talk about my hometown. Grand Rapids is a cool city and has a really good comedy scene with supportive audiences and some of the funniest comics in the country.
Every time Nate mispronounces a word, I immediately scroll the comments to see how quickly or how often a correction is offered. I had no doubt there would be corrections to Worcester this week! I love y'all so much--thanks for shining such a bright light on our world!
Nate, I am the exact same way with “curse words”. I am a high school teacher at a public school in FL. Students curse more than they use regular English. However, they know not to curse around me. They respect me when I set those boundaries. They may say “sh@t, or Dam&, or hel?, or pis.ed, any of these words and they say to me “these aren’t curse words!” I reply, “Yes they are!” lol! I love standing on these principles for my students even if they think I’m old-fashioned. They live in a world that gives them no boundaries, little ethics or morals, and no one to call them to a higher standard. I’m thankful I have the opportunity to just be a light for these kids (beyond the no-cursing rules). ❤ Nate, never change! You’re setting such a great example for your family and many others.
I'm with Nate on trusting in the sovereignty and providence of God. We should put our efforts into loving God, loving others and trust Him with the rest. Be the best steward you can be of what you've been given.
❤❤❤❤Love you all so much!!! Make my week! I did not realize how much I missed Nate❤! Never change, I realize we all change but keep your roots of who you are. Take great care of your family especially your children. ❤❤❤❤
Putting each other down is how males bond. That's the draw I have to this podcast because it reminds me of my many nights with best friends just sitting around talking about nothing and finding new ways to make fun of each other. Now that my friends and I are living our "grown up" lives many miles apart, I miss those times more and more. Being able to sit in on Nate, Butkus, Aaron and Dusty and the weekly podcast shenanigans helps me fill that void. Thanks fellas...
I am 67 and when I was little my brothers and I would walk to this little theater and bring our own big brown grocery bag full of popcorn and pay 50 cents to watch a movie. That was fun.🙋🏻♀️💜🤗
I'm 66 and my mom did the popcorn in the grocery bag for us when they took us to a drive in movie. I always wanted to buy a snack from the concession stand but that didn't happen. 😂
This weekend my wife and I watched Nate's and Dusty's specials. I've enjoyed every episode of the podcast, but during Dusty's special she mentioned that Dusty looks exactly like Nate, but wearing a bad disguise. This thought never occurred to me, but now I can't unsee it. Wondering if this ever occurred to you guys; and can't wait to see the specials of Aaron and Bingo. None of this is lost on me either, thanks for the laughs boys.
Hope Nate and Aaron loved St. Louis and visited our coolest (and probably most dangerous) attraction, the City Museum! I was so excited that one of the openers was Aaron. When I told my husband that Aaron graduated from Notre Dame, he asked, "what was his degree in?" And all I could think (in true Nateland spirit) was, what difference does it make, he's doing THIS? Killed it, loved the show.
Do you have to get into a different mindset to go back and forth from stadiums to theaters? Such a fun and great show this weekend, and the perfect way for my husband and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Thank you for rescheduling St. Louis after snl and for adding the extra shows! Thank you all, and keep it up.
When I was 15, my dad joined a dodgeball team with a community gym. They were the National Athletic Dodgeball Society. My siblings and I would cheer, " Go NADS!"
I was born and raised in Arizona, but from 1998-2000, I lived in Brasil and I learned to speak fluent Portuguese. The last few months I was there, I was dreaming in Portuguese. That was a weird morning when I woke up after the first time I realized I had done that. It's been 25 years, and periodically I'll still dream in Portuguese. -Brad Rasmussen
So I was flying home from a Week away at work and I was in the front row of the plane. I downloaded the Dreams Episode… I had my eyes closed listening and Aaron talks about his microwave honey I shrunk the kids reoccurring dream… Nate chimes in and says “we know where the microwave part came from” and I lost it! I open my eyes and both stewardess were staring at me and laughing. This whole episode has some gems. Love you guys
The painted ladies homes were in the opening credits of full house. But the actual house actually about 5 minutes away. I found out when we went to San Francisco a few years ago. But the painted ladies a very famous and your picture is great, Aaron!
Hello Folks! Weighing in on the great dodgeball debt. We played two versions of this game and one variation. We had the standard dodge ball with two teams - one on each side of the center line. We then had a game where everyone lined up on the wall, and a handful of kids got to throw balls at these kids until everyone was out, only switching if a ball was caught. This seems insane to me today as it was basically target practice for the more athletic kids. Our variation for dodgeball was to have a kid or two on each team on a floor scooter. When kids were hit out, they were to lay on the ground where they were hit, and the kid on the scooter could "revive" them by scooting over and touching them. We called this "Doctor Dodgeball" The scooter kids were not allowed to throw or catch and if they were hit your team no longer had a "doctor" The 80s was a crazy time! Love the pod!
Bubble Butts is so amazing at call backs. Unfortunately most of the guys don’t even pay attention to what they say, definitely don’t really listen to each other and miss some of his great ones. Good job BB.
Another great show. Consider having guests for shows in ordinary jobs. Talk about crazy situations in their jobs. A cop would have lots of funny stories.
HELLO FOLKS! I've been a Nate fan since the beginning, I can't believe I the missed fact you started a podcast in 2020! It's been amazing starting at episode 1 a month ago...I am watching every episode in order. I havent laughed, gleaned so many 'nuggets or felt like i was part of an inside joke so intensely in all my life! You all are the best. I rewatch Animals and Weather when i need a real pick me up or the Bigfoot episode..I could go on and on about how Aaron's laugh, Dusty's (non)conspiracy theories and Brian's research are the highlight of the podcast, but I won't 😂. Thanks for making my laugh daily. You are all truly amazing.
I want to add after finishing the episode, because I am watching / listening to the episodes as I fall asleep...I had a dream that in my job, I messed up the point of sale system..so instead of just sending the software they ordered, I messed up and everyone was getting 2 FREE Helix Pillows and travel AG1 green packs...the 2 sponsors of the podcast🤣🤣.. I was in so much trouble in my dream, it woke me up at 4:30am..and texted my coworker to make sure it wasn't real😂
That night was one of the best nights of my life, don’t be discouraged people aren’t talking about it. I didn’t mean to bum Nate out with the comment, I can’t believe we got to see him trying some new material. Like watching van gough paint. Seriously out side of my wedding or becoming a dad the three best nights we’re seeing umphreys at red rocks, seeing umphreys and dusty in the same weekend last year, and that show at the bob. My wife and I seriously are so grateful we just so happened to be at the perfect show
I have seen Nate three times, and each time was amazing. Truly! We recently attended a comedy festival (I won’t mention the name, but pretty well-known comedians), and it didn’t even come close to one of Nate’s shows. While there were a few “clean-ish” sets, most of it was very vulgar. Being offensive isn’t funny. It isn’t clever. It isn’t entertaining. The best part of the show was a singer from Nashville. You probably know who I mean, and he was great. But, if a singer is the best part of a comedy festival, the night kind of bombed. All this to say, I love what you guys are doing. I’m not easily offended, but I prefer comedy that is not aggressive and in your face with the intent to shock or disgust. Nate’s dream of creating entertainment that is funny and family friendly is a wonderful one. Cheap laughs are easy and easily forgotten. You ALL are part of something bigger and better…. Thank you! ❤
Aaron - unless there were two random dudes from Florida who chatted you up at BNA on Thursday morning, that was me. It’s funny because after I walked away I thought to myself “crap…I think I just accidentally low key insulted Aaron“ - my bad! Truth be told, I took all of -4.5 seconds to think about talking to you before I sat down, so not at all surprised it came out that way. Regardless, you skipped right over it and were super chill about it all. Please come on down to Cocoa Beach and I’ll be at your show - I’ll even give you a lift if you get in another car wreck out here. Love the podcast, comedy, and the good vibes y’all bring!!
Hearing you guys mention a Massachusetts city and mispronounce it is all time. Worcester is pronounced woos-stir.We also have a Leominster (Lemon-stir) and a Gloucester (Glaw-stir). Also I'm with Dusty on the punching in a dream. I also have a hard time yelling in my dreams which I guess has something to do with not being able to express emotions (cue up Benefiber for a "you wanna tell us about Betterhelp?") Love the podcast and the banter!
Vanna White was in a 1987 publication of Playboy! Dusty dismissed Brian’s claim that she was, but she was! I was a senior in high school and being a Christian, I think I was introduced to the magazine by one of my sinner friends! God bless ‘em! Love the podcast and you guys are great! Looking forward to seeing some, or all of you guys in Kentucky again soon!
When talking about ways to fall asleep, Nate mentioned playing a golf course in his head. I thought I was the only person in the world to do this. I imagine I’m playing my local course and try to go through each hole with the best shots I could take. Usually by the third hole, I’m off to dreamland.
I’ve had lots of lucid dreams and one thing about them is they’re fragile. When you first realize you’re in one you want to go crazy and fly but you wake up. Once I learned more I would tell myself in the dream to take it easy and go slow and they would last longer.
When I quit smoking (both times) I had several nightmares where I thought I had smoked a cigarette, and I would always wake up with the worst anxiety right after…
As far as dreams being premonitions - I once had a dream about an old friend that I hadn't talked to in a few years. I knew that he had been sick (cancer), but didn't know the extent of it. I dreamt about him and he looked very healthy and vibrant, and we sat and talked for a long time. When I woke up I found out he died that previous night.
Dreams: I have always heard they are your wishes or fears. Like Dusty, I often dream that I can’t get moving… my body won’t cooperate! As a child, I had recurring dreams that I could fly.
I listen to the podcast late at night and once had a dream I was an opener for Nate. I woke up right before it was time to go up. Pretty sure that means I would have bombed.
Nate: us comics are brutal towards each other but regular people you have to be careful with because they can't handle it. First comment read: Nate: why would you allow this person to be so mean to me even though he's clearly joking?
Nate is so funny! He keeps the ideas and themes rolling through the episodes. Amazing to be so funny in the moment! Also loved Aaron’s reference to Bob Seger. He is a songwriter / singer who evokes a dreamlike quality in his music; so many moods and stories. Aaron is also a musician, if I remember correctly?
I had a dream that I was waiting with a group of my band friends at UGA. To pass the time, I thought it would be fun to sing its 5 o’clock somewhere. When we got to the “what would jimmy Buffett do” part everyone fell silent. They didn’t know the rest of the song and no matter how hard I tried, they couldn’t sing it. I was frustrated with them and I woke up mad. I checked my phone and my dad messaged me, saying that jimmy Buffett had passed away. I told this story to the other trumpet players before a football game. They said I was a prophet and passed around a collection hat. I made $60. Don’t tell the tax man. Love the show and all y’all do. #dawgsfordusty P.S. John Crist’s dad is my family’s mayor
I dream regularly about being in college and during finals week finding that I’ve actually been enrolled in a class all semester without my knowledge and now I have to pass the final. I wake up in a panic just to realize I’ve been out of college for 20 years. I’ve been having this dream ever since college.
I’ve had this dream as well. It’s always a class I haven’t attended and it’s after drop day so there’s no way to get out of it. Besides I can’t find the class and I’m late for the exam. Always happy to wake up.
When Nate does every other episode, he is unbelievably funny. This episode is a good example… he was on fire from jump, not burned out, on top of his game. Everyone was funny, but his wit when his mind is sharp feels almost superhuman.
It’s interesting to see how so many fans think their favorite celebrities change. I have a theory that it’s actually the fans who change. I’ll use a comic for example. Comic starts out - Fan finds new comic - fan loves new comic - comic’s audience grows - fan excited for comic’s success - comic gets bigger opportunity - comic gets busy - fan claims comic is Hollywood - fan leaves negative comments about comic. I am so happy for all of the BAND’s success. How awesome to do something you love and it changes your life?! Wouldn’t we want that for anyone?
I thought you guys missed an opportunity to talk about the best ending of a sitcom ever. The ending of Bob Newhart show where he wakes up next to his wife from a previous show and says I just had the weirdest dream.
Sad to hear Nate announcing retirement as well as the end of the pod. Will this be immediate? Also, most of you guys should be fine, but is there a place to donate to Brian when the show ends so he can support his family?
You mentioned flying in your dreams a few times. This discussion has come up amongst my family a few times and we realized that we’re all fly differently in our dreams. How do you guys fly if at all in your dreams? Like Superman, flapping your arms like wings, just jumping really high? Me personally, I kind do a motion like I’m treading water in a pool and I just kind of float around.
I’d love it if the BAND boys would weigh in on my theory. I’ve always connected people who have very early childhood memories to those that remember their dreams more vividly. I have memories from before 18 months, my father from 14-16 months, and we have VERY vivid and complicated dreams that we can remember upon waking. Nate, I second your gut feeling that you’ll know where and when based on God’s leading. It’s difficult to put into words, but you just know. You also learn that when you try to force something, it’s a sign that you shouldn’t be doing it, as it never turns out the way you want. However, the opposite seems true with God, where even something that seems like it’s going to take you nowhere, turns into some of the most beautiful times in your life. Those experiences, in turn, make you trust Him more. Good talk today guys! ♥️
Fun fact folks, you can do CPR to the tune of staying alive or if you want to spice it up you can always do it to the tune of Another One Bites the Dust, boom boom boom Another One Bites the Dust. Probably best to do that one in your head though as the onlookers might be a little worried
It’s crazy how Nate seems to think comics are the only people who brutally make fun of their friends and colleagues, as if non-comics don’t have or understand this mysterious ability. I grew up in a big, close-knit, quick-witted New York family with 21 cousins and nonstop jokes at each other’s expense as we picked apart every nuanced mistake anyone made. And all of that turned me into a 44-yr old who does the same thing with every friend and close coworker. Believe it or not, Nate, “civilians” (as Barbershop called us) can be hilariously brutal with their friends too.
That’s not at all what he said. He said “comics with other comics are brutal” but they shouldn’t bring total strangers into it. He asked dusty (of his neighbors) “do you know them?” If you have a close relationship then, by all means , do you if they’re into it also.
@@tammybarkley It’s not just this episode. Nate talks about this pretty often, like it’s isolated to comics. I guarantee if he was still driving a delivery truck for a living and never went into standup, he’d still be like that with his friends.
One of my high school friends got hit in the back while driving. The guy who hit her said to collect his info, and he'd pay her out of pocket instead of insurance. She wasn't sure, but since I knew people in similar situations, I had said you should get a Pic of his ID and let him go. She messaged him, and he laughed and said yeah right. After that, I realized if there is damage, it's not worth the risk. I was so trusting back then my poor friend.
Once again Bates Motel, said a quick joke, and it went over the other's heads! When Vanna went from spinning the letters to touching them, he said did you gasp...nothing but crickets. Hilarious thank you. Also old jokes that you don't think work, but crush, Nate's "In the park homerun off a walk" joke. I literally watch it every time I want to have a laugh, I can put that on and it's just amazingly perfect! Thank you once again, I've seen 3 out of 4 of you, just waiting for Bad Boy to make it to OKC, I'll bring you a cigar.
This holes in the golf course idea is great to fall asleep. I either do that or thinking about a frisbee being thrown and it just keeps floating slowly from person to person.
I’m way late to the comments on this one, but I have had the same dream about college classes that I just realized I was signed up for but never attended. In fact, that nightmare continued for over a decade after I graduated college until last year. I became an adjunct professor and suddenly started having the dream again, but this time it was me realizing at the end of the semester that there was a class I was supposed to be TEACHING the whole time but never attended. That has been my new recurring dream. Maybe grad school will cure it…
Brian is leaving out a key part that we use to do. If the last two standing were on the same side, they would be put on opposite sides until one wins. The point of separating wasn't to have teams, it was to have targets to throw at. There were no team captains. You'd stand in line and count 1, 2, 1, 2 and then go to opposite sides. It's a crazy game when you break it down that the most fun part about it is you get to throw a ball as hard as you can at someone with zero consequences.
Dream A Little Dream was my absolute FAVORITE as a kid!!! I’m a Goonie and Labryinth fan! Oh yeah Labryinth! “You remind me of the babe, what babe, the babe with the power, what power, the power of voodoo, who do, you do, do what, remind me of the babe”
Sad car story. I went to a swanky spa for a massage and valet parked my car. They did the walk-around and noted that it was in perfect condition. When I returned (all zen), I was told that there was a scratch on it. It passed "scratch" a long time ago😢. The front bumper was almost torn off. All the sensors are there. Driving a nice car home with a dangling bumper is embarrassing enough. But, the buzzer alerting me that I was too close to something randomly kept going off. Not a safe situation. The spa paid for all the repairs.
Had plenty dreams where I was in fight and punch was like going through molasses, the strain of trying so hard usually wakes me. Which is why I remember them
1:53:12 great ending for a dreams podcast. Thinking about raising a family someday, I would love to see the nateland world expand! Also is "yes sirrrr" a new ironic phrase turned not-ironic for Aaron?
One of the common full house myths is that it was filmed in the painted ladies. The painted ladies served as a backdrop of the shows credits. If you google the full house house, you will find an exact address that’s about 1 mile from the painted ladies.
Ugh, I dream 97% of the time and lucid dream probably 75% of that. It's exhausting and horrible. I'll get PTSD from dreams that comes up constantly throughout the day, sometimes days after. Makes sleeping and rest really hard
I really like this Nate guy. Probably my favorite guest. If you guys are thinking of adding a fourth host he should definitely be in the running.
His name would be perfect for the show too
"Nate" you say? OK i was wondering who the new guy was.
😂
Little cocky but I like him 😏
It's his show!
I loved the part near the end of this episode where Nate was sharing about how he’ll know when enough is enough, and this season of his life has come to an end. I was waiting for Dusty or Bill to say something along the lines of “you’ll know when enough is enough, when Aaron leans in, grabs your shoulder and says ...ENOUGH.” Love the show, keep up the great work gentlemen.
I am a few weeks behind in episodes, but near the end when Brian says “you had a joke about that” and can recite Nate’s joke about the plane… it’s unbelievable. I love that Brian really is Nate’s #1 fan. I’d like to think all the folks can tie for the #2 spot.
I like that Dusty has principles and conscience and has the patience of a intelligent dude who can be humble.
Great podcast. The fact that Nate and Dusty stay so humble while being successful is awesome. Hope the four of you continue to do this podcast for a long time.
I love you all. Nate, I love your wholesomeness. I also grew up in a Christian home and went to Christian schools. I appreciate that I can share your specials with my entire family and not be embarrassed. You are the best. God bless you all!
I love the subtle gospel being preached there at the end! Respect your approach to keep it respectful as to not alienate anyone, but the truth is the truth! Love the pod!
I agree! Amen
Nate I applaud your values and dreams. I love when you talk about faith.
Brad Paisley: "Let me know if I can ever do anything for you."
Dusty: "Hey Brad, I need some help moving these rocks out here."
Yes! That's only to be expected 😉
5:04 Bates deserved a better laugh for this joke 🤣
#teamBrian
Bate and Tackle always has very good subtle jokes which the guests on his podcast overlook
That and his mentioning “a gasp” when talking about how the letters no longer have to be turned on Wheel of Fortune.
The whole gang is back happy Wednesday folks!
I also think dreaming about stressful things relevant in your life is super common among people. I definitely have had it related to my job and school life before. Can totally relate to Nate and Aaron on this one. Idk about anyone else too but sometimes I can sense almost a familiar dream place in my dreams sometimes. Like I’ve visited there before..
When Blister was smoking the cigar he looked like a 1940s mob boss watching someone get fitted for cement shoes
He looked like someone waiting to see if they got him😅
HEY GUYS! I found the podcast through Nate, and full disclosure, I used to skip the episodes when he was gone. After getting to know the whole crew, I’ve now gone back and listened to the ones I skipped. Not that I look forward to Nate being gone, but I do love the different feel when “Dad” is away. All that to say, Nate, you have nothing to worry about the weeks you are gone; Dusty, Aaron, and Butt-munch do an excellent job! -- Grant Harrison
39:19 when Nate is pumping Brian up and then says “you’re weak but that doesn’t mean you’re not manly” had me in tears.
But real talk, Brian you’re as much a man as anyone. Being a man isn’t about fixing stuff. Being strong doesn’t just mean physically strong. Y’all are awesome men of God and that’s what matters. Blessings to you all.
Discuss everyones weekends, 30-40 minutes of comments, approximately 20 minutes on the actual topic followed by a 10-minute rant from Nate, then end episode.
Hilarious how every episode goes this way. Keep it up, folks!
This is quite a community being built. It seems like we are all eager to see through a lens that shows the future as revealed at the end of this episode. In the meantime - what gifts we receive every Wednesday! Grateful to you all for the brilliant humor - pulling us all a little closer together. Can’t wait to stay tuned for future chapters.
I love this conversation! It's like we get to sit around the table like a family!
Thanks for another great pod! Nateland Entertainment is mental floss against all the yucky plaque in the media. I enjoy Bran's research on topics and the way each of you runs with it. The way ya'll "pick at each other" makes me feel right at home. Nate, thanks to you and the whole team for making "clean" fun again. We love ya!
P.s. This is the ONLY podcast I listen to without skipping through the ads, because I'm afraid I'll miss something funny.
Love you, Brian!!!
I love all of you! When you laugh in unison, it's precious.
Dusty's laugh just gets me.😂😂😂
Lost my Mom when I was only 19. She was 40. (My sister only 8 and my brother just 3). I would dream she was back with us -but I knew in my dream that it would be a short visit.
I would wake up with tears streaming down my face.
I saw Aaron at Rooster T Feathers in Sunnyvale, CA last weekend. He was outstanding, super funny, and very approachable. I hope he plans to swing by our way again some time. And maybe bring along some of the other guys like Brian and Dusty. And maybe that other guy... I forget his name.
Dusty: “I just ordered the DVD”
Nate: “Why’d you order the DVD?”
Dusty: “I’m into DVD’s”
Probably my all time favorite interaction between these two😂
Great episode about Dreams this week. I had a recent dream I had won a contest and the Grand Prize was I got to shower with the lead singer from the band Toto. To make matters worse (if that’s even possible), there were two winners...so three of us standing in there together. Nightmare.
Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing Nate perform live at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand later this summer.
THANK YOU NATE....for your stand on being morally clean in your acts and talking......
Keep doing what your doing my friend.....
Bag phones! 😂 I get the biggest kick out of Aaron having no idea what some of these things are! It’s so fun to see his reaction to the things we thought were great when he Googles it! 😂 Thank you always for the laughs… getting me through some hard times and I appreciate it.
Absolutely two of my favorite and inspirational comedians
Wait! I can’t believe it did not get a bigger reaction from the rest of the guys when Nate said he has never seen Tombstone!! That has to move to the top of your list of movies to watch, even above Shawshank!
Probably because he’s told us this before. On the Old West episode he admitted to not seeing any westerns.
@@brianbatescomedy haha ok gotcha! I missed that one. I’m in less of a state of shock now! Thanks!!!
I’ve never even heard of Tombstone lol
Love all of your on the road stories. They are so much fun us folks ❤😂
Not even a minute in and I love how close Dusty and Aaron are to the table!! Getting that posture right and sitting up straight and high 🎉
As a comic originally from Grand Rapids I was so excited to hear you guys talk about my hometown. Grand Rapids is a cool city and has a really good comedy scene with supportive audiences and some of the funniest comics in the country.
Every time Nate mispronounces a word, I immediately scroll the comments to see how quickly or how often a correction is offered. I had no doubt there would be corrections to Worcester this week! I love y'all so much--thanks for shining such a bright light on our world!
Nate, I am the exact same way with “curse words”. I am a high school teacher at a public school in FL. Students curse more than they use regular English. However, they know not to curse around me. They respect me when I set those boundaries. They may say “sh@t, or Dam&, or hel?, or pis.ed, any of these words and they say to me “these aren’t curse words!” I reply, “Yes they are!” lol! I love standing on these principles for my students even if they think I’m old-fashioned. They live in a world that gives them no boundaries, little ethics or morals, and no one to call them to a higher standard. I’m thankful I have the opportunity to just be a light for these kids (beyond the no-cursing rules). ❤ Nate, never change! You’re setting such a great example for your family and many others.
I'm with Nate on trusting in the sovereignty and providence of God. We should put our efforts into loving God, loving others and trust Him with the rest. Be the best steward you can be of what you've been given.
❤❤❤❤Love you all so much!!! Make my week! I did not realize how much I missed Nate❤! Never change, I realize we all change but keep your roots of who you are. Take great care of your family especially your children. ❤❤❤❤
Putting each other down is how males bond. That's the draw I have to this podcast because it reminds me of my many nights with best friends just sitting around talking about nothing and finding new ways to make fun of each other. Now that my friends and I are living our "grown up" lives many miles apart, I miss those times more and more. Being able to sit in on Nate, Butkus, Aaron and Dusty and the weekly podcast shenanigans helps me fill that void. Thanks fellas...
i had no idea it stood for “big old building!” i’ve been there so many times! thanks dusty for the trivia!
I must say, Bobby Boucher is my favorite Nateland host. 👍
I am 67 and when I was little my brothers and I would walk to this little theater and bring our own big brown grocery bag full of popcorn and pay 50 cents to watch a movie. That was fun.🙋🏻♀️💜🤗
I'm 66 and my mom did the popcorn in the grocery bag for us when they took us to a drive in movie. I always wanted to buy a snack from the concession stand but that didn't happen. 😂
I'm 65. I would take my little nieces to the movies - like 30 yrs ago - and sneak in sodas and candy. The concessions have always been jacked up!
This weekend my wife and I watched Nate's and Dusty's specials. I've enjoyed every episode of the podcast, but during Dusty's special she mentioned that Dusty looks exactly like Nate, but wearing a bad disguise. This thought never occurred to me, but now I can't unsee it. Wondering if this ever occurred to you guys; and can't wait to see the specials of Aaron and Bingo. None of this is lost on me either, thanks for the laughs boys.
Hope Nate and Aaron loved St. Louis and visited our coolest (and probably most dangerous) attraction, the City Museum!
I was so excited that one of the openers was Aaron. When I told my husband that Aaron graduated from Notre Dame, he asked, "what was his degree in?" And all I could think (in true Nateland spirit) was, what difference does it make, he's doing THIS? Killed it, loved the show.
Do you have to get into a different mindset to go back and forth from stadiums to theaters? Such a fun and great show this weekend, and the perfect way for my husband and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Thank you for rescheduling St. Louis after snl and for adding the extra shows! Thank you all, and keep it up.
I would like to commend Mr. Slay for his unrivaled competitive spirit! “I’ve clapped a lot too” this man can’t be out done.
When I was 15, my dad joined a dodgeball team with a community gym. They were the National Athletic Dodgeball Society. My siblings and I would cheer, " Go NADS!"
THAT'S AWESOME! What a great family memory😂.
I was born and raised in Arizona, but from 1998-2000, I lived in Brasil and I learned to speak fluent Portuguese. The last few months I was there, I was dreaming in Portuguese. That was a weird morning when I woke up after the first time I realized I had done that. It's been 25 years, and periodically I'll still dream in Portuguese.

So I was flying home from a
Week away at work and I was in the front row of the plane. I downloaded the Dreams Episode… I had my eyes closed listening and Aaron talks about his microwave honey I shrunk the kids reoccurring dream… Nate chimes in and says “we know where the microwave part came from” and I lost it! I open my eyes and both stewardess were staring at me and laughing. This whole episode has some gems. Love you guys
The painted ladies homes were in the opening credits of full house. But the actual house actually about 5 minutes away. I found out when we went to San Francisco a few years ago. But the painted ladies a very famous and your picture is great, Aaron!
Hello Folks! Weighing in on the great dodgeball debt.
We played two versions of this game and one variation.
We had the standard dodge ball with two teams - one on each side of the center line.
We then had a game where everyone lined up on the wall, and a handful of kids got to throw balls at these kids until everyone was out, only switching if a ball was caught. This seems insane to me today as it was basically target practice for the more athletic kids.
Our variation for dodgeball was to have a kid or two on each team on a floor scooter. When kids were hit out, they were to lay on the ground where they were hit, and the kid on the scooter could "revive" them by scooting over and touching them. We called this "Doctor Dodgeball" The scooter kids were not allowed to throw or catch and if they were hit your team no longer had a "doctor"
The 80s was a crazy time!
Love the pod!
That scooter variation sounds waaay more fun 😊
Bubble Butts is so amazing at call backs. Unfortunately most of the guys don’t even pay attention to what they say, definitely don’t really listen to each other and miss some of his great ones. Good job BB.
Another great show. Consider having guests for shows in ordinary jobs. Talk about crazy situations in their jobs. A cop would have lots of funny stories.
This is an interesting idea! My husband is a police officer and has some really funny stories that our family still laughs about!
HELLO FOLKS!
I've been a Nate fan since the beginning, I can't believe I the missed fact you started a podcast in 2020! It's been amazing starting at episode 1 a month ago...I am watching every episode in order. I havent laughed, gleaned so many 'nuggets or felt like i was part of an inside joke so intensely in all my life! You all are the best. I rewatch Animals and Weather when i need a real pick me up or the Bigfoot episode..I could go on and on about how Aaron's laugh, Dusty's (non)conspiracy theories and Brian's research are the highlight of the podcast, but I won't 😂.
Thanks for making my laugh daily. You are all truly amazing.
I want to add after finishing the episode, because I am watching / listening to the episodes as I fall asleep...I had a dream that in my job, I messed up the point of sale system..so instead of just sending the software they ordered, I messed up and everyone was getting 2 FREE Helix Pillows and travel AG1 green packs...the 2 sponsors of the podcast🤣🤣..
I was in so much trouble in my dream, it woke me up at 4:30am..and texted my coworker to make sure it wasn't real😂
That night was one of the best nights of my life, don’t be discouraged people aren’t talking about it. I didn’t mean to bum Nate out with the comment, I can’t believe we got to see him trying some new material. Like watching van gough paint. Seriously out side of my wedding or becoming a dad the three best nights we’re seeing umphreys at red rocks, seeing umphreys and dusty in the same weekend last year, and that show at the bob. My wife and I seriously are so grateful we just so happened to be at the perfect show
When Boom-shakka-lakka said "nek-id" instead of naked, I instantly thought of Ray Stevens The Streak
I was wondering about the correct spelling of NEK-id. I was going to spell it neck-it. Thank you for the spelling guidance.
I would love to see a Nateland dodgeball tournament with a 3 team bracket. Nate, Dusty, and Bareknuckle.
I have seen Nate three times, and each time was amazing. Truly! We recently attended a comedy festival (I won’t mention the name, but pretty well-known comedians), and it didn’t even come close to one of Nate’s shows. While there were a few “clean-ish” sets, most of it was very vulgar. Being offensive isn’t funny. It isn’t clever. It isn’t entertaining. The best part of the show was a singer from Nashville. You probably know who I mean, and he was great. But, if a singer is the best part of a comedy festival, the night kind of bombed. All this to say, I love what you guys are doing. I’m not easily offended, but I prefer comedy that is not aggressive and in your face with the intent to shock or disgust. Nate’s dream of creating entertainment that is funny and family friendly is a wonderful one. Cheap laughs are easy and easily forgotten. You ALL are part of something bigger and better…. Thank you! ❤
Nate! Excellent breakdown on the very talented Mr Bob Saget
Aaron - unless there were two random dudes from Florida who chatted you up at BNA on Thursday morning, that was me. It’s funny because after I walked away I thought to myself “crap…I think I just accidentally low key insulted Aaron“ - my bad!
Truth be told, I took all of -4.5 seconds to think about talking to you before I sat down, so not at all surprised it came out that way. Regardless, you skipped right over it and were super chill about it all.
Please come on down to Cocoa Beach and I’ll be at your show - I’ll even give you a lift if you get in another car wreck out here. Love the podcast, comedy, and the good vibes y’all bring!!
dude you were great. thanks for saying hi. i was just messing around
Spoken like a true gentleman - great to meet you. But legit, I’ll keep an eye out for Florida dates to come see you. Cheers!
Hearing you guys mention a Massachusetts city and mispronounce it is all time. Worcester is pronounced woos-stir.We also have a Leominster (Lemon-stir) and a Gloucester (Glaw-stir). Also I'm with Dusty on the punching in a dream. I also have a hard time yelling in my dreams which I guess has something to do with not being able to express emotions (cue up Benefiber for a "you wanna tell us about Betterhelp?") Love the podcast and the banter!
Vanna White was in a 1987 publication of Playboy! Dusty dismissed Brian’s claim that she was, but she was! I was a senior in high school and being a Christian, I think I was introduced to the magazine by one of my sinner friends! God bless ‘em! Love the podcast and you guys are great! Looking forward to seeing some, or all of you guys in Kentucky again soon!
Dusty is still rockin those Vuori shorts.
I love all yall. Great episode.
When talking about ways to fall asleep, Nate mentioned playing a golf course in his head. I thought I was the only person in the world to do this. I imagine I’m playing my local course and try to go through each hole with the best shots I could take. Usually by the third hole, I’m off to dreamland.
I’ve had lots of lucid dreams and one thing about them is they’re fragile. When you first realize you’re in one you want to go crazy and fly but you wake up. Once I learned more I would tell myself in the dream to take it easy and go slow and they would last longer.
Hey Bear, great shows in G.R.
I saw Dusty Thursday night at Dr. Grins and Nate Friday at Van Andel, we were having a good time.
Great, I haven't gotten to see Nate Live yet and he's already announcing his farewell tour! Well, it was great while it lasted.
When I quit smoking (both times) I had several nightmares where I thought I had smoked a cigarette, and I would always wake up with the worst anxiety right after…
He is a comedian and one of my favorutes
As far as dreams being premonitions - I once had a dream about an old friend that I hadn't talked to in a few years. I knew that he had been sick (cancer), but didn't know the extent of it. I dreamt about him and he looked very healthy and vibrant, and we sat and talked for a long time. When I woke up I found out he died that previous night.
Dreams: I have always heard they are your wishes or fears.
Like Dusty, I often dream that I can’t get moving… my body won’t cooperate! As a child, I had recurring dreams that I could fly.
I listen to the podcast late at night and once had a dream I was an opener for Nate. I woke up right before it was time to go up. Pretty sure that means I would have bombed.
I’m so excited about seeing Aaron in Lake Forest!! ❤
Nate: us comics are brutal towards each other but regular people you have to be careful with because they can't handle it.
First comment read:
Nate: why would you allow this person to be so mean to me even though he's clearly joking?
Nate is so funny! He keeps the ideas and themes rolling through the episodes. Amazing to be so funny in the moment!
Also loved Aaron’s reference to Bob Seger. He is a songwriter / singer who evokes a dreamlike quality in his music; so many moods and stories. Aaron is also a musician, if I remember correctly?
Thank God there was a net at the BOB.. to catch Jake’s chin as it dropped at Dusty’s show! 😜
Looking forward to Dusty’s show in August in North Myrtle Beach at the very fun Greg Rowles Theatre.
Home of Vanna White!
I had a dream that I was waiting with a group of my band friends at UGA. To pass the time, I thought it would be fun to sing its 5 o’clock somewhere. When we got to the “what would jimmy Buffett do” part everyone fell silent. They didn’t know the rest of the song and no matter how hard I tried, they couldn’t sing it. I was frustrated with them and I woke up mad. I checked my phone and my dad messaged me, saying that jimmy Buffett had passed away. I told this story to the other trumpet players before a football game. They said I was a prophet and passed around a collection hat. I made $60. Don’t tell the tax man.
Love the show and all y’all do.

P.S. John Crist’s dad is my family’s mayor
I dream regularly about being in college and during finals week finding that I’ve actually been enrolled in a class all semester without my knowledge and now I have to pass the final. I wake up in a panic just to realize I’ve been out of college for 20 years. I’ve been having this dream ever since college.
I’ve had this dream as well. It’s always a class I haven’t attended and it’s after drop day so there’s no way to get out of it. Besides I can’t find the class and I’m late for the exam. Always happy to wake up.
When Nate does every other episode, he is unbelievably funny. This episode is a good example… he was on fire from jump, not burned out, on top of his game. Everyone was funny, but his wit when his mind is sharp feels almost superhuman.
It’s interesting to see how so many fans think their favorite celebrities change. I have a theory that it’s actually the fans who change. I’ll use a comic for example. Comic starts out - Fan finds new comic - fan loves new comic - comic’s audience grows - fan excited for comic’s success - comic gets bigger opportunity - comic gets busy - fan claims comic is Hollywood - fan leaves negative comments about comic.
I am so happy for all of the BAND’s success. How awesome to do something you love and it changes your life?! Wouldn’t we want that for anyone?
I thought you guys missed an opportunity to talk about the best ending of a sitcom ever. The ending of Bob Newhart show where he wakes up next to his wife from a previous show and says I just had the weirdest dream.
When Nate was talking about being done with stand up and the podcast someday, it felt like a parent telling a child they’ll eventually die.
Sad to hear Nate announcing retirement as well as the end of the pod. Will this be immediate? Also, most of you guys should be fine, but is there a place to donate to Brian when the show ends so he can support his family?
I just LOVE Dusty’s heart! ❤️
You mentioned flying in your dreams a few times. This discussion has come up amongst my family a few times and we realized that we’re all fly differently in our dreams. How do you guys fly if at all in your dreams? Like Superman, flapping your arms like wings, just jumping really high? Me personally, I kind do a motion like I’m treading water in a pool and I just kind of float around.
I’d love it if the BAND boys would weigh in on my theory. I’ve always connected people who have very early childhood memories to those that remember their dreams more vividly. I have memories from before 18 months, my father from 14-16 months, and we have VERY vivid and complicated dreams that we can remember upon waking.
Nate, I second your gut feeling that you’ll know where and when based on God’s leading. It’s difficult to put into words, but you just know. You also learn that when you try to force something, it’s a sign that you shouldn’t be doing it, as it never turns out the way you want. However, the opposite seems true with God, where even something that seems like it’s going to take you nowhere, turns into some of the most beautiful times in your life. Those experiences, in turn, make you trust Him more. Good talk today guys! ♥️
Fun fact folks, you can do CPR to the tune of staying alive or if you want to spice it up you can always do it to the tune of Another One Bites the Dust, boom boom boom Another One Bites the Dust. Probably best to do that one in your head though as the onlookers might be a little worried
It’s crazy how Nate seems to think comics are the only people who brutally make fun of their friends and colleagues, as if non-comics don’t have or understand this mysterious ability. I grew up in a big, close-knit, quick-witted New York family with 21 cousins and nonstop jokes at each other’s expense as we picked apart every nuanced mistake anyone made. And all of that turned me into a 44-yr old who does the same thing with every friend and close coworker. Believe it or not, Nate, “civilians” (as Barbershop called us) can be hilariously brutal with their friends too.
That’s not at all what he said. He said “comics with other comics are brutal” but they shouldn’t bring total strangers into it. He asked dusty (of his neighbors) “do you know them?” If you have a close relationship then, by all means , do you if they’re into it also.
@@tammybarkley It’s not just this episode. Nate talks about this pretty often, like it’s isolated to comics. I guarantee if he was still driving a delivery truck for a living and never went into standup, he’d still be like that with his friends.
One of my high school friends got hit in the back while driving. The guy who hit her said to collect his info, and he'd pay her out of pocket instead of insurance. She wasn't sure, but since I knew people in similar situations, I had said you should get a Pic of his ID and let him go. She messaged him, and he laughed and said yeah right. After that, I realized if there is damage, it's not worth the risk. I was so trusting back then my poor friend.
The way Bologna congratulated Nate on seeing 200 at 1:22:07 was too good.
Once again Bates Motel, said a quick joke, and it went over the other's heads! When Vanna went from spinning the letters to touching them, he said did you gasp...nothing but crickets. Hilarious thank you. Also old jokes that you don't think work, but crush, Nate's "In the park homerun off a walk" joke. I literally watch it every time I want to have a laugh, I can put that on and it's just amazingly perfect! Thank you once again, I've seen 3 out of 4 of you, just waiting for Bad Boy to make it to OKC, I'll bring you a cigar.
This holes in the golf course idea is great to fall asleep. I either do that or thinking about a frisbee being thrown and it just keeps floating slowly from person to person.
I think of paths for walking/hiking for places I've lived in or visited.
I’m way late to the comments on this one, but I have had the same dream about college classes that I just realized I was signed up for but never attended. In fact, that nightmare continued for over a decade after I graduated college until last year.
I became an adjunct professor and suddenly started having the dream again, but this time it was me realizing at the end of the semester that there was a class I was supposed to be TEACHING the whole time but never attended. That has been my new recurring dream. Maybe grad school will cure it…
I saw Creed live over 20 years ago and it was awesome! I lost my voice for 2 days, after singing/screaming every song!
Brian is leaving out a key part that we use to do. If the last two standing were on the same side, they would be put on opposite sides until one wins. The point of separating wasn't to have teams, it was to have targets to throw at. There were no team captains. You'd stand in line and count 1, 2, 1, 2 and then go to opposite sides. It's a crazy game when you break it down that the most fun part about it is you get to throw a ball as hard as you can at someone with zero consequences.
Dream A Little Dream was my absolute FAVORITE as a kid!!! I’m a Goonie and Labryinth fan! Oh yeah Labryinth! “You remind me of the babe, what babe, the babe with the power, what power, the power of voodoo, who do, you do, do what, remind me of the babe”
You guys make fun of Dusty, but dang, he knows what's up.
Sad car story. I went to a swanky spa for a massage and valet parked my car. They did the walk-around and noted that it was in perfect condition. When I returned (all zen), I was told that there was a scratch on it. It passed "scratch" a long time ago😢. The front bumper was almost torn off. All the sensors are there. Driving a nice car home with a dangling bumper is embarrassing enough. But, the buzzer alerting me that I was too close to something randomly kept going off. Not a safe situation. The spa paid for all the repairs.
Had plenty dreams where I was in fight and punch was like going through molasses, the strain of trying so hard usually wakes me. Which is why I remember them
1:53:12 great ending for a dreams podcast. Thinking about raising a family someday, I would love to see the nateland world expand! Also is "yes sirrrr" a new ironic phrase turned not-ironic for Aaron?
I once had a dream that was animated. It was a few days after seeing The Emperor's New Groove.
I'll go proofread this now.
One of the common full house myths is that it was filmed in the painted ladies. The painted ladies served as a backdrop of the shows credits. If you google the full house house, you will find an exact address that’s about 1 mile from the painted ladies.
Ugh, I dream 97% of the time and lucid dream probably 75% of that. It's exhausting and horrible. I'll get PTSD from dreams that comes up constantly throughout the day, sometimes days after. Makes sleeping and rest really hard
