I don't know that much about history, but as I listen to this I know there is some history nerd listening along just shaking at comments like, "You could argue John Hancock is only remembered because of this." This conversation was like if you taught a 2nd grade class about the Revolution and then recorded them explaining what they learned. And if that kind of conversation isn't what you're here for, then you aren't a Folk. Incredible show, as usual!
It was so amazing to hear our name and see the prescription bottles my wife made shown the podcast but of COURSE Nate mispronounced my hometown of Muskogee. Most people know how to pronounce it because of the famous song “Okie From Muskogee” but anyway. We have now seen and met Nate and Aaron in person, but we’re wondering when Blowhole is going to make his way to Oklahoma so we can complete the Nateland trifecta!
You know what I find fascinating? You guys could talk about anything. You could all talk about how to pour a glass of milk. You would all laugh while talking about it. The listeners would also be laughing. BUT once you tell a friend the same story it all goes down hill from there. You have to watch or listen to truly understand this podcast. That’s why it’s fascinating.
This comment doesn’t have anything to do with this episode, but half of what the guys talk about never has anything to do with the episode anyways. I just quit my job of 8 years. This week is my last, and I sometimes find myself second guessing my decision. Then I think about Nate saying once you’re comfortable is when you have to leave. So I’m following that advice, and adventuring onto a new path. Thanks Nate, Aaron, and Baloo for all you do!
Aaron recapping the movie National Treasure: The first one is super fun, they steal the Declaration of Independence and find a treasure map on the back of it. Also Aaron: The second one is completely unbelievable, they kidnapped the president. This made me laugh pretty hard that kidnapping the president is where he drew the line on whether or not the movie is believable.
(Peggy in Dallas) One of the funniest episodes yet!! When Nate talked about becoming a Justice and making an amendment that Aaron can never be Pope, I laughed so hard my dog literally thought I was having a seizure and she tried to help me. Imagine how much fun this world would be if Nate was on the Supreme Court, Aaron was pope and Big Man was The Uber driver. We’re a third of the way there. Great show guys!
I watch these as I make my daughter's lunch every morning, and I've been dipping into some OLD episodes lately. Aaron looks SO much healthier! great job man!
I saw this and wanted to quip, “how much lunch is she eating?!?!” Then I realized I watch this in the morning as I clean the kitchen and thought, “how many dishes do we have every day?!!” 🤦🏾♀️ 😂😅 Agreed, Aaron will be gout-less before we know it!
@@deborahhoward5471 lol I was listening in the car, and had to pause it and rewind a few times because I thought my service was messing up. NOPE, just Nate telling a story!
I love the podcast and Nate's comedy...Hopefully see Aaron and Benchwarmer live sometime. I am also from the Oregon Trail Gen and this is the perfect podcast! Being the same age as Nate, makes being average feel normal! I have also been a comedy fan, but love that it is now in the forefront. I've heard this mentioned on a few episodes, but I do believe it's art, and very similar to jazz musicians. They have their own voice, and create within the same medium...but most days for instance I'm just a drummer, and don't take myself too seriously. Watching Chappelle or Attel/Ross bumping mics made me see it like great jazz musicians. Bumping Mics was like two great showing up at a club and trading solos, like Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. Just like a good album, I can listen to specials like Nates over and over, and hear something different everytime. Thanks for what you do folks!
My maiden name is Hancock, so as a kid I was interested in his story. According to a book I read (elementary school level), these men knew they were committing treason and the King could kill them. Each was hesitant at first and he just said “I don’t care, let him see my name.” The book portrayed him as a hot-headed rebel.
I’m turning 40 in April, and for my birthday i told my wife i want to go to your show in Fresno. So we rented a party bus and are bringing 50 people to the show! Looking forward to laughing my butt of with all of my closest friends and family. Love you Nate. I appreciate what you do.
@@SteveK6578 just born lucky i guess, i mean i am 5,11 and 170 lbs so I’m built for the game, had a few good plays, had some teams fighting over me, but you know my dreams were bigger than playing pro football, i just want to dance!
That policy is one of the most intentionally predatory things I have ever seen. There were actually a few different podcasters/streamers who all had the same exact experience, where they couldn't get the membership cancelled. Of course, once all these YT channels started exposing the fact that the gyms were basically refusing to stop billing people, they coincidentally changed their policy and made it slightly less difficult to cancel.
The timing for this is great. My students are taking the Constitution test on Friday. Nateland can be my classes substitute teacher for two review days. After watching this they will surely have firm understanding of the Bill of Rights and the concept double jeopardy! But seriously, I might show them the moose story. I'll go proofread this now.
When Nate correctly named Ben Franklin as a founding doubter, Aaron’s response was like a proud father who didn’t really expect his kid to know the right answer.
Paul Revere gets all the press. Meanwhile Israel Bissell rode 345 miles from Watertown, Massachusetts all the way to Philadelphia over more than 4 days, letting everyone know along the way that the British were coming, and almost no one knows about him.
I loved the Supreme Court talk! As a LEO in Texas, we always cover Supreme Court cases in training. After 9 years, I’ve become a self described Supreme Court nerd and constantly read and review new and old cases. As the shift Sergeant, my briefing on Saturday always cover important cases for Law Enforcement and I throw out somewhat obscure ones. My guys love it… ok, they don’t, but it’s good information to have.
The idea that there are images of the Declaration of Independence without all of the signatures is very funny, like before some of them signed it Ben Franklin said “wait let me just get a speedy picture of it”
Just found this Podcast about 2 months ago and I'm listening all the time to try to catch up. I do snow removal in the Winter and your Podcast has kept me awake through lots of long cold nights in a truck. Nate, you, Aaron and Babu Baht Have something special going on!
This aged so well.. not sure when it was recorded but Bates saying “ by the time this comes out you’ll have even mean for a while” after what just happened last month calling him a cow. Hahaha
As a law student this episode hurt to listen to. We just spoke about Texas v Johnson in my First Amendment class this week that the episode came out! Nate asking “Who knows these cases?” Had me dying because I’ve literally gone to law school for three years to know these exact cases! Was glad I got to see Nate when he came to Hershey! Keep up the good work folks!
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to SUPREME COURT. The show where honorable judge Nate bargatze has no knowledge of laws but makes concrete rulings anyways. With his plaintiff Bizmack Biyombo and court reporter Aaron Weber like the grill, judge bargatze will enforce an entirely new legal system. The Supreme Court bit had me in tears laughing. Love the wholesome content and constant laughs. Keep up the good work!
If you're planning a golf tourney, Ron White, Kathleen Madigan and Lewis Black are all avid golfers. Kathleen would give you a run for your money Nate!
Hilarious episode. Y’all briefly mentioned dueling, and it felt like a missed opportunity to talk about this: There is still a section of the Tennessee constitution that says you can’t hold public office in the state if you have been involved in a duel. “Any person who shall, after the adoption of this Constitution, fight a duel, or knowingly be the bearer of a challenge to fight a duel, or send or accept a challenge for that purpose, or be an aider or abettor in fighting a duel, shall be deprived of the right to hold any office of honor or profit in this State, and shall be punished otherwise, in such manner as the Legislature may prescribe.” Tennessee Constitution Article IX, Section 3.
John Adam’s said that the VP role was insulting because the VP was not selected the way we do it today. The VP then was just the runner up for President. So could you imagine talking crap about the other candidate for a year or more and then losing and having to work for them. That is insulting.
I can't believe Aaron missed an opportunity to bring up The West Wing! There was an episode where 3 characters were stuck in Indiana because of changing time zones.
One of my favorite stories was an American ambassador went to a dinner party in England after the Revolutionary war and the host decided to taunt the ambassador by hanging a portrait of George Washington in the bathroom. After the ambassador returned from the bathroom, the host asked him his opinion of the portrait in the bathroom. The ambassador responded, "Nothing would make a Brit crap faster than seeing George Washington!"
The stories about pants gave me flashbacks to my wedding day last year. Long story short, I forgot to pack my pants the night before, me and my buddies were staying at the venue the night before so we could go golfing there the next morning. I had packed my jacket, thinking my pants were with it. Didn't notice there weren't until about 45ish minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start. Luckily the mall where I got them was 20 minutes away, bad thing, the only pants they had for that suit were two sizes too small and THAT is why in all of our wedding pictures you can clearly see the outline of my briefs clear as day through my pants. It's a funny memory now but it was scary at the time for sure. I'm still trying to convince her we need to frame those pants and hang them like a retired jersey for coming in clutch and saving the day. So far she has refused but I'll keep trying. Thanks for all the laughs on my morning and afternoon commutes and hope to catch y'all live sometime, I'm from NC and currently living near Pittsburgh so it'd be nice to have some fellow Southerners around!
I am months late listening to this episode but had to comment when Nate said "John Morton is on there how did he sneak on there?" Crazy that the name if my great great great great great grandfather would be mentioned randomly on a podcast of one of my favorite comedians!
Great episode. I had to rewind multiple times to go back and hear what I missed because I was laughing. Can you imagine if Brontosaurus was telling that story about Ed O’Neil the same way Nate did? That was bruuuutal. Love the pod!
Nate's example sentence for using "speedy" in a sentence used speedy incorrectly: "I'll write it speedy." Speedy is an adjective but is used as an adverb here; should say "speedily" to be grammatically correct.
Aaron used the term "fierce little gallup" to describe Paul Revere's ride, and I feel like this is going to be my go-to line to describe hurrying from point A to point B from here on out. Love the podcast. My only request is that you shoehorn more content about Vandy football. Always my favorite topic that y'all discuss.
Hey guys love the podcast, can you maybe do something other than stretching after the podcast ends and we have to watch blurry versions of you? Maybe give Aaron a fist bump. He earned it with that Stanley impression.
Thanks for reading my comment/story about announcing the wrong retiree’s name in a meeting when someone had passed away. I was surprised to hear you say it sounded like something Mick would do since I felt like it fit the format of this show perfectly. You guys are always talking about topics you practically know nothing about like you’re experts. Many times A-a-Ron or Bernstein say something with full confident and Nate responds in shock and wonder like he’s learning about Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy for the guys to immediately respond “I mean, I guess”
I just finished listening to every episode of NateLand, then I watched a walkthrough of the new portal game and I though I required the voice of the core. great voice acting Nate.
I think Brian just implied that he and Nate are the modern version of Ben Franklin and John Adams. Both pairs needed to vent their frustration of the difficulties traveling together. Judging by the fact Ben Franklin won the argument, I’m guessing he’d be Nate which is fitting! Although I’m not sure if Ben Franklin ever called John Adams a cow, I’d like to think they’d be folks if they were around today! Great episode!
Wait, how did you guys not dig into Aaron's filmmaking career??? I'm 100% sure there's a lot to be learned about the budding visionary's artistic choices and direction.
Nate’s question of ‘did they tell him what to write?’, in regards to some random dude writing the Constitution, almost broke my brain. Like a guy just made up Article V for no reason
I’m thinking that there should be a segment of the podcast where they choose a topic and have fans dial in to weigh in on it. Maybe do a little prescreening until it becomes more natural. Just my thoughts
"It's better when they watch." - Nate talking about talk show hosts during standup acts. "I don't watch. I've seen everybody." - Nate on tour talking about his opening acts.
You know when you say a word over and over it starts to sound funny? That was happening to me during the whole “speedy” debacle. I was laughing already but then started laughing even harder every time someone said “speedy” because it just started sounding like an odd word altogether. Loved this one!
As I was searching for the hole joke on the tonight show Nate said “if you don’t know it you don’t have to go look it up especially if you’re about to come see me because I am doing this joke.” That was freaky. I look forward to hearing it when I see you (and hopefully the rest of the gang?) in Bellingham, WA in May (tickets purchased a year ago before you added Seattle, which is where I live).
Just by reading the title of this episode, I already know Bandit Bates is gonna have a hard time keeping Nate's attention....I mean, can ya blame him. Who wants to hear about old men making rules.
Like Aaron, I am a fan of The West Wing. The Paul Revere knife episode is my favorite. But you cannot just watch that one. You need to watch the others to understand the significance. It's all about what Charlie means to the West Wing POTUS.
Nate and Company, do y’all have backlogs of all your comedy hours/routines recorded somewhere? Sometimes shows don’t visit my home state, and I worry that I will never get to see some of these jokes you reference. I know you have a few albums on Apple Music and some specials on Netflix, but is there anywhere that has all of your major hours do date?
Evansville is not the only part of Indiana in the Centra time zone. The counties around Chicago are as well. Living on the time zone boarder is groovy. I once had a student who left his house at 8 to get to school at 730.
My wife and I are newlyweds and every Wednesday she knows I listen to the Nateland Podcast. Our wedding was last October and as a wedding gift she got me tickets to Nate’s show at the Paramount on April 30th in Huntington NY. Nate we’ll be the ones in the 3rd row with flowers in 1 hand and a tomato in the other so needless to say this better be good. See you soon.
I have a question about Nate’s claustrophobia, especially how he deals with it during airplane flights? Does he have to take anti anxiety meds before flights?
