Hello Folks! Just to follow-up, Yes, the great legendary coach Vince Lombardi is kin. He was my grandfather’s cousin. They grew up in Fordham, New York together. So what does that make him to me… a stranger. Pretty much too far up the family tree to count. I just started doing stand-up in DC a few years ago, so I’m destroying the great name with every set I bomb. Hope you had (or have) a wonderful Christmas and keep up the great work. Love you all and appreciate the entertainment you give us each and every week!
As a Type 1 diabetic it was enjoyable listening to Brian, Aaron and Ned talk about diabetes. I have never heard 3 people talk about a well known topic with less knowledge. Everyone that tuned in for that episode is now dumber for having heard that. With his diet, Ned is well on his way to earning type 2 diabetes. Keep the laughs coming!
The Office is one of the only shows not made for children that my 7 year old grandson and I both like. His favorite episode in the one where Michael and Dwight are arguing and Michael tells Dwight to hit him in the stomach. He laughs so hard at Michael's reaction after Dwight hits him that he makes me crack up too. It never gets old.
For clarification on the fitness orb popping by accident: the Office Ladies podcast explains that the orb was supposed to gradually deflate and Dwight would slowly sink to the ground. The prop master told them that the only way it would pop would be if John Krasinski hit it right on the seam, but that was nearly impossible to do. They had 14 orbs, and the first 13 takes went as planned, but the on the final take, John hit it right on the seam and it popped! They ended up loving the accidental pop more than the slowly deflating orb, so they put that in the episode instead.
My wife and I were dating in high school when The Office came out. We would watch every episode at the same time while we were on the phone with each other. I learned how to talk to flirt with her from from Jim flirting with Pam. A few years later, Jim and Pam got married on the show a few months after we got married in real life. When I heard it was going to be cancelled after season 9, I was devastated. It was a show that we shared a fondness for and had great memories over the years watching it together. My wife's response was different. She said, "It's about time. I don't really like it." Thank God our marriage has more staying power than the show! I'll go proofread this now.
Catching up on a years worth of old episodes, and I'm only NOW figuring out that the Helix mattress is ACTUALLY called "Dusk Luxe"... I'd always figured that Nate just couldn't pronounce "Deluxe"...
Man, the comment round up is full of some folks who’ve forgotten this is a comedy cast. C’mon folks; Nate’s unbelievable misunderstanding of education and the scientific method is what makes the chuckles! Keep up the great work!
Once, when I was completely stunned by some mind blowing computer technology, I asked my friend, Ryan, “How did we go from living in CAVES… to THIS?!” He answered, “The animals taught us. They wanted us to get out of their caves…”
Bingo's comparison of Nate and Michael is dead on. I can easily see a "Nate on the road vlog" where he is running in front of a speed limit sign to show how fast he can run.
Speaking of screen size, as it relates to generations, I can’t believe that as 80s kids we had a 20 inch TV in the living room, that was the main Family TV. Sometimes it was built into a credenza. Nowadays, a 20 inch TV is the second bathroom TV.
I just took a trip from Florida to Utah and back. I too have never used an airplane restroom and after hearing that Aaron hadn’t, I had to stick to my guns and keep the streak going. I basically dehydrated myself just to make sure I didn’t need to go on the plane. 🤣 Stay strong, Aaron!!
Shoutout to Nate deciding it’s pronounced “or-ee-on” instead of “Orion” for no real reason, sticking with it even though he knew it was wrong and then two seconds later saying “i don’t know why this school stuff stuck never sticks”
The Coriolis effect does not affect which way the toilets flush that all depends on the design of the toilet or the faucet. And that's quoting Neil deGrasse Tyson astrophysicist.
Hello folks! Was recently asked the icebreaker question: “If you could eat dinner with any living person, who would it be?”… and I said Nate! I like to think of all the people who answer this question and picture eating at fancy restaurants with famous actors, singers, and athletes asking them about their keys to success and so on… meanwhile I’m having a blast eating a #5 meal with no pickles at McDonald’s and trying to bribe Nate into letting me watch the pilots from his shows that he’s gotta have copies of somewhere.
All this talk of time travel, but nobody considers that Burrito already _did_ travel back in time, and this is where he's chosen to stay. Doing stand-up at company Christmas parties, churches and county fairs, and doing guest appearances on the AaronLand Podcast. The really crazy part is that baby. He grows up, travels back in time after hearing about his much fun his dad had doing comedy. Starts doing a few open mics. Befriends a comedian named Nate Bargatze. Co-hosts a podcast with him. Falls in love with a woman and gets married. They have a baby. That baby grows up hearing tales from his dad about the glory days of the comedy life. One day accidentally discovers time travel..
The idea that this is Laura’s burner account is fine by me. If she ever wants to use it for telling you to keep your elbows off the table or anything, tell her to reach out.
I love the laughter that Aaron is always holding back when Nate reads the sponsor Ads… Side question, how do the phone calls usually go from a sponsor company after you start reading them on the podcast? Curiously been laughing every week about that since the beginning!! 🤣🤣
You would think as a Golden Globe Nominee, Nate could pull some strings and get John Krasinski, or at least Creed (who is the most underrated character of all time!) for this episode. And correction for Aaron the Gout Weber, you actually can find that scene on the internet, but should you? Well, maybe... Also in other news, I was in the grocery store this week and saw the Queen of England's face plastered all over the magazines near the checkout. It reminded me of the debate- Is Queen Elizabeth more famous than Oprah? Sources say yes. (My sources are my one trip to Kroger...just in case anyone asks)
What I’ve noticed is as you get older (I’m Nate age) every generation seems to watch the shows they watched in there 20’s or maybe early 30’s the most. I noticed my the generation that grew up with westerns love them and I hate old westerns. I think it’s a comfort level and like Nate said you don’t have to follow these shows close cause you know them well
I say The Office is like a steak dinner and Michael Scott was the steak. If you take away the steak, mashed potatoes and green beans is all that's left on the plate. Season 8 & 9 is like you ordering a steak dinner, but the waiter comes with a plate with only mashed potatoes and green beans. And you say, "Hey! Where's my steak?!" And the waiter says, "Sorry, the steak didn't renew his contract."
when nate jokingly said, "I was born with type 1" it was incredible because you could tell he didn't know being born with it is the only way to get type 1. keep up the outstanding work
Best Office random detail - the framed ‘award’ on the wall in Michaels office is a Certificate of Authenticity for his watch 😂 Best cold open is when Jim dresses up like Dwight - “Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica”
Bonus random detail: "Seiko" is spelled wrong on that certificate. So he's hung up an authenticity certificate for a fake watch that doesn't even claim to be the real thing.
Last night was the worst. 104 deg fever. No sleep until 4am to 630. Aches. Some good news: this COVID diet helped me lose 13 pounds so far. I didn't have to buy any special products and I didn't have to feel hungry. Except for the covid-19 part of it it was great.
The Christmas episode season 2 might be my favorite episode it’s awesome. Definitely top 5. I love how Michael gets Ryan the 400$ iPod and then in his head he is now expecting a similarly expensive and when he gets the oven mit he freaks out.
I started listening to you guys after watching Nate's specials on Netflix. I love the comments almost as much as the show. Also, Aaron, my husband had a Planet Fitness account before we met and now after being married almost 8 years, he was sick of me nagging him. He finally typed up that stupid letter and cancelled his membership. Thanks for a great show, you guys are hilarious.
According to the Office Ladies podcast, Angela Kinsley and Jenna Fischer, they had to change Michael Scott to be good at this job with better sales and people skills. The reason why is you don’t get fired as much for performance in UK. In US, you can’t be a bad manager. So they couldn’t make him unlikable all the time. That is why they worked in actual good sales techniques like the Client episode and the one with Danny Cordrey. Also they started the series with Michael making a sale for Jim.
Folks, while we do share the "same space" in the northern and southern hemispheres, there are still stars/constellations/galaxies that aren't visible at any time of the year. (Brain is correct). For instance, I'll never be able to see the Southern Cross (that's a constellation*) from my home in New England. Also, the Coriolis effect has no impact on toilet drain direction. Glossary: *Constellation* - A pattern or outline of visible stars
at 27 minutes in... right after they talked about the "Educated Guess" joke, They literally figure out, to them, what an educated guess is and Aaron freakin Webster over here says Educated Opinion!.... Oh, my god, you were so close! Yelling way to loudly at my computer screen right now
Love it!!! Merry Christmas! I was hoping for another Krispy Kreme challenge or something, but I'll take that I can get! Love you guys! Can't wait to see Nate live on February 5th!
So Nate saying he will play golf with "us folks" when invited, is Natelands "Scott's Tots"? Can't wait for The Office part 2, so much was left out. One fun fact was Pam's actual husband was the breastfeeding nurse, which Jim didn't like the attentionhe was showing her girls.
Although it's a star - our sun doesn't have a name in English. We always just call it the sun. ... Sol is the latin word (not name) and Helios is the Greek word (not name). (according to a Cornell university article)
The sun does NOT have a unique proper name. You will never see Sol used by astronomers unless they are speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or Swedish where sol translates as sun.
I need glasses to see for distance but my eyes aren’t that bad. But I will never do contacts if I really need them because it freaks me out to put something IN my eyes 😂
We went to your show in Vegas. Do not remember when we had as much fun. Great to see Nick, your Dad, and you performing live. After Nick, surprised to see your Dad. Both were great and I thought, “Wow, Nate has to follow them,” but it was no problem as you were fantastic!! Bought some mugs and a couple of sweatshirts. Thanks for the great reprieve from our daily concerns. Sincerely, Ken & Patty Fans of Boballoo, Goutfoot, Nick, yourself, and now your Dad
Somewhere a lovely lady has a lovely podcast where she's talking about going to visit her grand babies and she gets stuck on a plane beside this guy watching Sopranos, the stripper episode, when all she wanted to do was relax with a little Hallmark Christmas movie.
Nate reminds me of Michael Scott in the episode where Jan makes Michael write down what he does every hour of the day, and he replies with "well that's not how I roll, because sometimes I am in the zone, and sometimes I'm in the zoning out" -- later that day the camera flips to Michael reading his productivity log and he says "lost log, found log" That would be Bubba telling Nate to keep track of his time. ( My sources: Ssn 3, ep. 5 Initiation--superfan episode)
Question for Nate, Aaron and my cousin, Barnaby… Do any of you know a comedian whose style is similar to your own who has a bit that you wish you’d written for your own act? If so, who is it and what is the bit? Side note, we love the show. My wife and I are both teachers and the last couple of years have been especially tough for educators. Your podcast has been a huge lift in what can sometimes become an overwhelming week. We’ve seen you on the last 2 tours in Louisville and hope to see you again on “The Raincheck Tour” in Indiana or Kentucky. PS: I’m turning 50 next month so I’m Brian’s growing pains with each episode. Keep up the good work!!
C'mon Aaron, I'm pretty disappointed. A theory is the scientific way of saying "this is what we thinks happened or will happen based on what we know". But a theory is still just...an educated guess
When Jim pops Dwight’s fitness orb, he did pop it on purpose, but the accident was that he popped it on the seam of the orb. If he popped it anywhere else, which he did in the initial few takes, it would slowly deflate and Dwight would just slowly sink down. They decided to do one more take and Jim just so happened to hit the seam on accident, it popped unexpectedly, which is why you can see Jim break character and run off screen covering his mouth and laughing. It wasn’t scripted to pop like that but they liked it so much they used that scene in the actual episode.
So far your Universe episodes are my favorite. I listen in my car. I know people have to be wondering what I’m laughing at with just me and my dog in the car.
Is it just me or does Beanstalk remind anybody else of Jamie from the progressive commercials. Could easily pass for his dad or uncle. It’s also hilarious to see Nate wearing a UFC hat and you just know he’s never thrown a single punch in his entire life. Aaron coming in clutch with the wheezing laugh as always. Love it, keep it going boys and a Merry Christmas to y’all!
IS NATE A SECRET MATHEMATICIAN? Nate makes the comment about how business people now talk to 5 times as many people as they did in the 60's, and then pulls out the analogy of how talking to 8 people in the 60s was like talking to 40 people now. 8x5 = 40. He does all this within a matter of seconds. Great job Nate!
Y'all talking about ya'll's southern accents makes me feel like I am not alone. I'm originally from Macon, GA and when I went to college in suburb of Atlanta everyone made fun of my accent. I now live in a different suburb of Atlanta and I still get made fun of for my accent. My wife is from North Georgia and she trained herself to loose her southern accent so that people wouldn't think she is stupid. Needless to say the Atlanta metro area has been taken over by yankees. I call it the Yankee bubble. Watch out because Nashville could soon be like Atlanta.
great episode. one of my favorite topics... love all the fun facts that come from The Office, my absolute favorite is that the disdain Michael has for Toby was an improv one time from Michael and it became a fantastic running bit. The story of Creed on the show is also really funny/interesting.
Seth rogan wasn’t famous yet he had some freaks and geeks but if you remember his first really big movie role was also the 40 year old virgin where he works at the tech store with Steve carrel
Going back and catching up on some episodes that i missed... @42:43 Aaron hits a walk off homer and "Honda Del Sol" & "Bates 2 the Future" don't hear him... 🤦♂️. Nate's somehow being even louder than the hat he's wearing and "Born to middle" is yapping about some new app he's developing that will allow people to compare different plane tickets based on what adult films each airline was offering. Not only does Aaron obstain from doing his best José Bautista impression, he also carries his bat with him while he trots the bases so the bat boy/girl can watch the fireworks... 🤫🎤⬇️
"i dont think about the words when i say them, people should know that, there is nothing behind them" -brought to you by the guy who's motto is "words are all that matter"
On the topic of TV shows, my wife and I have been streaming seasons of Survivor. During an episode, a contestant had to read an advantage they had found in front of the entire tribe. That got me thinking about how funny it would be to hear Nate try to read that. Then I thought how hilarious it would be to have Nate, Aaron, Basket, and a whole cast of comedians on Survivor. Is that a possibility? Love the show, hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
I saw Nate's BFF, Jay Cutler, at the Salt Lake City airport Tuesday. Even being a huge Bears fan growing up, all I wanted to say to him was "I loved you on Nateland". I refrained because he was there with his 3 kids. Wondering what your take is on being approached while you are with your family. And just a reminder...Merry Christmas!
Hearing Nate's voice, and thinking of the world in general, I've always wondered if y'all do anything special to avoid getting sick on the road. Do you just soldier through minor sickness, or build up a strong immunity through the years?
Australia does NOT see different constellations than the U.S. at different times of the year. They are on the opposite side of the planet, and can see the southern sky better, but they are not on the opposite side of the sun.
I know exactly how Biscuit felt on that plane. I started watching Logan on a flight specifically because I thought it would be edited. It was not. I frantically covered the unexpected nudity on the screen intentionally trying to make sure any spectators knew it was an accident. First I felt like an absolute pervert, but then I was so dramatic about getting rid of it that I felt like a psycho. My only recourse was to take a nap and wait until that sweet moment when I’d never see any of those people again.
I'm British, gave the British The Office a go & hated it....Is U.S. The Office really much better? Same with Seinfeld, im goin through them now & really don't understand the hype.....I'm more a Scrubs & Friends fan I guess, could watch them forever EAAAAAAAAAAGLE!!!!......King Of Queens beats all though
Aside from Nate being Michael Scott. Who does Aaron and Broccoli Soup fill in for when it comes to characters on The Office? Hoping to hear for a part 2. You guys are great and make Wednesday my favorite day of the week. Btw I have 100% faith Nate doesn’t mess this up while reading this comment on the next episode.
Beetlejuice, do you know what TV service offers ‘The Office’ series? Sorry for the comment but I’m just working my way through the podcasts in order. Thank you!
"i like the british office more than the american office" is the same as saying "i like nateland more than aaronland". aaronland put nateland on the map, no one heard of nateland before aaronland
Love that Nate said "I was born with type 1 diabetes" as a joke when that's literally what type 1 diabetes means. Anyways, I hope none of you end up getting the beetus, Bing-bong doesn't need any more things to worry about. Can't wait to see Nate in Salt Lake City in February!
I never watched”The Office” until recovering from surgery in 2019. I grew to like it, although they stole my “That’s what she said” line. My favorite character is Stanley. You’ll understand when you get to be Blueberry Crépes’ age. Favorite episode:Fire Drill. I like the way the show (The Office, obviously) shows the absurdity of prejudices & stereotypes. PS. Blackstrap’s Sopranos story made me belly laugh.
Hello Folks! Just to follow-up, Yes, the great legendary coach Vince Lombardi is kin. He was my grandfather’s cousin. They grew up in Fordham, New York together. So what does that make him to me… a stranger. Pretty much too far up the family tree to count.

Hope you had (or have) a wonderful Christmas and keep up the great work. Love you all and appreciate the entertainment you give us each and every week!
Using "Dressing up a cow" instead of "putting lipstick on a pig" is the perfect opener for an episode about "the office" lol
As a Type 1 diabetic it was enjoyable listening to Brian, Aaron and Ned talk about diabetes. I have never heard 3 people talk about a well known topic with less knowledge. Everyone that tuned in for that episode is now dumber for having heard that. With his diet, Ned is well on his way to earning type 2 diabetes. Keep the laughs coming!
oh I think Nate just got a nickname!
Honestly a diabetes episode would be hilarious
Type 1 represent
The South
The Office is one of the only shows not made for children that my 7 year old grandson and I both like. His favorite episode in the one where Michael and Dwight are arguing and Michael tells Dwight to hit him in the stomach. He laughs so hard at Michael's reaction after Dwight hits him that he makes me crack up too. It never gets old.
I love when Burp explains something ridiculous about Michael Scott, and Nate replies, “doesn’t that make sense?”
The seething disappointment on Aarons face when Nate misreads things is one of the best parts of the show.
For clarification on the fitness orb popping by accident: the Office Ladies podcast explains that the orb was supposed to gradually deflate and Dwight would slowly sink to the ground. The prop master told them that the only way it would pop would be if John Krasinski hit it right on the seam, but that was nearly impossible to do.

When I heard it was going to be cancelled after season 9, I was devastated. It was a show that we shared a fondness for and had great memories over the years watching it together. My wife's response was different. She said, "It's about time. I don't really like it."
Thank God our marriage has more staying power than the show!
I'll go proofread this now.
😂🤣
Toelet is one of the funniest pronunciations of toilet I've ever heard and I grew up saying torelet
Catching up on a years worth of old episodes, and I'm only NOW figuring out that the Helix mattress is ACTUALLY called "Dusk Luxe"... I'd always figured that Nate just couldn't pronounce "Deluxe"...
oh wow!
Man, the comment round up is full of some folks who’ve forgotten this is a comedy cast. C’mon folks; Nate’s unbelievable misunderstanding of education and the scientific method is what makes the chuckles! Keep up the great work!
Once, when I was completely stunned by some mind blowing computer technology, I asked my friend, Ryan, “How did we go from living in CAVES… to THIS?!” He answered, “The animals taught us. They wanted us to get out of their caves…”

When Michael says his Christmas Bonus is 3,000 G's... I could see Nate saying something like that haha
I just took a trip from Florida to Utah and back. I too have never used an airplane restroom and after hearing that Aaron hadn’t, I had to stick to my guns and keep the streak going. I basically dehydrated myself just to make sure I didn’t need to go on the plane. 🤣 Stay strong, Aaron!!
I think it's been over a decade for me. People like us need a support group, or at least an exclusive club
Dinner party episode is the greatest of all time. I love it so so much.
Shoutout to Nate deciding it’s pronounced “or-ee-on” instead of “Orion” for no real reason, sticking with it even though he knew it was wrong and then two seconds later saying “i don’t know why this school stuff stuck never sticks”
The Coriolis effect does not affect which way the toilets flush that all depends on the design of the toilet or the faucet. And that's quoting Neil deGrasse Tyson astrophysicist.
He's not exactly a reliable source
Hello folks! Was recently asked the icebreaker question: “If you could eat dinner with any living person, who would it be?”… and I said Nate! I like to think of all the people who answer this question and picture eating at fancy restaurants with famous actors, singers, and athletes asking them about their keys to success and so on… meanwhile I’m having a blast eating a #5 meal with no pickles at McDonald’s and trying to bribe Nate into letting me watch the pilots from his shows that he’s gotta have copies of somewhere.
I always imagine having the person over for dinner, and since I don't like cooking fancy foods, I feel like Nate would be a good guest.
I love the fire drill cold opening. It never fails to make me laugh out loud. Also the opening when Kevin brings in chilli. Oh man it's so good.
I feel like nobody appreciates Andy's panicked "THE FIRE'S SHOOTING AT US!!!" enough
All this talk of time travel, but nobody considers that Burrito already _did_ travel back in time, and this is where he's chosen to stay. Doing stand-up at company Christmas parties, churches and county fairs, and doing guest appearances on the AaronLand Podcast.
The really crazy part is that baby. He grows up, travels back in time after hearing about his much fun his dad had doing comedy. Starts doing a few open mics. Befriends a comedian named Nate Bargatze. Co-hosts a podcast with him. Falls in love with a woman and gets married. They have a baby.

The idea that this is Laura’s burner account is fine by me. If she ever wants to use it for telling you to keep your elbows off the table or anything, tell her to reach out.
Another fact is Southern Australia which is below the tropic of Capricorn cannot see any Northern constellations.
I love the laughter that Aaron is always holding back when Nate reads the sponsor Ads… Side question, how do the phone calls usually go from a sponsor company after you start reading them on the podcast? Curiously been laughing every week about that since the beginning!! 🤣🤣
You would think as a Golden Globe Nominee, Nate could pull some strings and get John Krasinski, or at least Creed (who is the most underrated character of all time!) for this episode.

(My sources are my one trip to Kroger...just in case anyone asks)
A dress on a cow.... I am dying.
Nate is just the best 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I use a big word to sound smart my wife will challenge me to spell it. Nine times out of ten it puts me back in my place real quick...
What I’ve noticed is as you get older (I’m Nate age) every generation seems to watch the shows they watched in there 20’s or maybe early 30’s the most. I noticed my the generation that grew up with westerns love them and I hate old westerns. I think it’s a comfort level and like Nate said you don’t have to follow these shows close cause you know them well
I'm looking forward to the Office part II where they spend a few minutes talking about each minor character.
I say The Office is like a steak dinner and Michael Scott was the steak. If you take away the steak, mashed potatoes and green beans is all that's left on the plate. Season 8 & 9 is like you ordering a steak dinner, but the waiter comes with a plate with only mashed potatoes and green beans. And you say, "Hey! Where's my steak?!" And the waiter says, "Sorry, the steak didn't renew his contract."
when nate jokingly said, "I was born with type 1" it was incredible because you could tell he didn't know being born with it is the only way to get type 1. keep up the outstanding work
As a Type 1 Diabetic I was in tears laughing at you all discuss Diabetes. The absolute ignorance was astounding and hilarious. Keep up the good work!

According to the Office Ladies podcast, Angela Kinsley and Jenna Fischer, they had to change Michael Scott to be good at this job with better sales and people skills.

Can't wait for The Office part 2, so much was left out. One fun fact was Pam's actual husband was the breastfeeding nurse, which Jim didn't like the attentionhe was showing her girls.
Aaron, Sol is a day on Mars, because it rotates around the same star/sun. I don't know if Dave is right, but ya went off the rails on that one.
Although it's a star - our sun doesn't have a name in English. We always just call it the sun. ... Sol is the latin word (not name) and Helios is the Greek word (not name). (according to a Cornell university article)
Did anyone else catch how trippy that was when Nate and Brian both said “maybe” at the same time, twice?! I had to rewatch it 5, 6 times.
The sun does NOT have a unique proper name. You will never see Sol used by astronomers unless they are speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or Swedish where sol translates as sun.
I have a new appreciation for the word “Uh” listening to Nate. Great show. I’m hooked.
Ya'll are so entertaining. Great start to my Wednesdays. Thanks folks.
I need glasses to see for distance but my eyes aren’t that bad. But I will never do contacts if I really need them because it freaks me out to put something IN my eyes 😂
Think i need to start listening to this podcast audio only, just ordered Sour Patch Kids in bulk 😫😫
Luis J. Gomez is coming on NYE episode, he just announced it on LOS
We went to your show in Vegas. Do not remember when we had as much fun. Great to see Nick, your Dad, and you performing live. After Nick, surprised to see your Dad. Both were great and I thought, “Wow, Nate has to follow them,” but it was no problem as you were fantastic!! Bought some mugs and a couple of sweatshirts.

Another fun office fact a lot of the cast they use their real first names as their character names. Not all but a decent few
Somewhere a lovely lady has a lovely podcast where she's talking about going to visit her grand babies and she gets stuck on a plane beside this guy watching Sopranos, the stripper episode, when all she wanted to do was relax with a little Hallmark Christmas movie.
There's a city in Michigan named Orion pronounced the exact way Nate is saying it.
Nate reminds me of Michael Scott in the episode where Jan makes Michael write down what he does every hour of the day, and he replies with "well that's not how I roll, because sometimes I am in the zone, and sometimes I'm in the zoning out" -- later that day the camera flips to Michael reading his productivity log and he says "lost log, found log" That would be Bubba telling Nate to keep track of his time. ( My sources: Ssn 3, ep. 5 Initiation--superfan episode)
Great show! Office vs. Seinfeld is a tough call.
Question for Nate, Aaron and my cousin, Barnaby…
Do any of you know a comedian whose style is similar to your own who has a bit that you wish you’d written for your own act?
If so, who is it and what is the bit?
Side note, we love the show. My wife and I are both teachers and the last couple of years have been especially tough for educators. Your podcast has been a huge lift in what can sometimes become an overwhelming week. We’ve seen you on the last 2 tours in Louisville and hope to see you again on “The Raincheck Tour” in Indiana or Kentucky.
PS: I’m turning 50 next month so I’m Brian’s growing pains with each episode.
Keep up the good work!!
The fire is the best cold open lmao
C'mon Aaron, I'm pretty disappointed. A theory is the scientific way of saying "this is what we thinks happened or will happen based on what we know". But a theory is still just...an educated guess
One of my favorite parts of this podcast is when the folks diagnose y’all’s medical conditions.
We are definitely going to need a continuation of this topic!!
When Jim pops Dwight’s fitness orb, he did pop it on purpose, but the accident was that he popped it on the seam of the orb. If he popped it anywhere else, which he did in the initial few takes, it would slowly deflate and Dwight would just slowly sink down. They decided to do one more take and Jim just so happened to hit the seam on accident, it popped unexpectedly, which is why you can see Jim break character and run off screen covering his mouth and laughing. It wasn’t scripted to pop like that but they liked it so much they used that scene in the actual episode.
Aaron leaving at the beginning of a movie is the most Aaron thing he could possibly do
So far your Universe episodes are my favorite. I listen in my car. I know people have to be wondering what I’m laughing at with just me and my dog in the car.
Is it just me or does Beanstalk remind anybody else of Jamie from the progressive commercials. Could easily pass for his dad or uncle. It’s also hilarious to see Nate wearing a UFC hat and you just know he’s never thrown a single punch in his entire life. Aaron coming in clutch with the wheezing laugh as always. Love it, keep it going boys and a Merry Christmas to y’all!
What’s with the bootleg candy in the Sour Patch box? 😆😆😆
IS NATE A SECRET MATHEMATICIAN? Nate makes the comment about how business people now talk to 5 times as many people as they did in the 60's, and then pulls out the analogy of how talking to 8 people in the 60s was like talking to 40 people now. 8x5 = 40. He does all this within a matter of seconds. Great job Nate!
Roy Wood Jr has a great bit about Leo in Django Unchained.
Casino Night is my favorite episode
Y'all talking about ya'll's southern accents makes me feel like I am not alone. I'm originally from Macon, GA and when I went to college in suburb of Atlanta everyone made fun of my accent. I now live in a different suburb of Atlanta and I still get made fun of for my accent. My wife is from North Georgia and she trained herself to loose her southern accent so that people wouldn't think she is stupid. Needless to say the Atlanta metro area has been taken over by yankees. I call it the Yankee bubble. Watch out because Nashville could soon be like Atlanta.
great episode. one of my favorite topics... love all the fun facts that come from The Office, my absolute favorite is that the disdain Michael has for Toby was an improv one time from Michael and it became a fantastic running bit. The story of Creed on the show is also really funny/interesting.
Seth rogan wasn’t famous yet he had some freaks and geeks but if you remember his first really big movie role was also the 40 year old virgin where he works at the tech store with Steve carrel
Going back and catching up on some episodes that i missed... @42:43 Aaron hits a walk off homer and "Honda Del Sol" & "Bates 2 the Future" don't hear him... 🤦♂️. Nate's somehow being even louder than the hat he's wearing and "Born to middle" is yapping about some new app he's developing that will allow people to compare different plane tickets based on what adult films each airline was offering. Not only does Aaron obstain from doing his best José Bautista impression, he also carries his bat with him while he trots the bases so the bat boy/girl can watch the fireworks... 🤫🎤⬇️
"i dont think about the words when i say them, people should know that, there is nothing behind them" -brought to you by the guy who's motto is "words are all that matter"
On the topic of TV shows, my wife and I have been streaming seasons of Survivor. During an episode, a contestant had to read an advantage they had found in front of the entire tribe. That got me thinking about how funny it would be to hear Nate try to read that. Then I thought how hilarious it would be to have Nate, Aaron, Basket, and a whole cast of comedians on Survivor. Is that a possibility? Love the show, hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
I saw Nate's BFF, Jay Cutler, at the Salt Lake City airport Tuesday. Even being a huge Bears fan growing up, all I wanted to say to him was "I loved you on Nateland". I refrained because he was there with his 3 kids. Wondering what your take is on being approached while you are with your family.
And just a reminder...Merry Christmas!
Hearing Nate's voice, and thinking of the world in general, I've always wondered if y'all do anything special to avoid getting sick on the road. Do you just soldier through minor sickness, or build up a strong immunity through the years?
Australia does NOT see different constellations than the U.S. at different times of the year. They are on the opposite side of the planet, and can see the southern sky better, but they are not on the opposite side of the sun.
I'm 42 nate and I'm watching this right now on my phone...lol
Also you clearly don't understand diabetes...lol
I know exactly how Biscuit felt on that plane. I started watching Logan on a flight specifically because I thought it would be edited. It was not. I frantically covered the unexpected nudity on the screen intentionally trying to make sure any spectators knew it was an accident. First I felt like an absolute pervert, but then I was so dramatic about getting rid of it that I felt like a psycho. My only recourse was to take a nap and wait until that sweet moment when I’d never see any of those people again.
I'm British, gave the British The Office a go & hated it....Is U.S. The Office really much better? Same with Seinfeld, im goin through them now & really don't understand the hype.....I'm more a Scrubs & Friends fan I guess, could watch them forever EAAAAAAAAAAGLE!!!!......King Of Queens beats all though
I'm Or-eon, my belt's in space - Nate Bargatze
I need an episode on the ufc
You guys make me feel really good about barely making it through college.
Great episode love the office. The injury is one of my favorites, just love the line DWIGHT YOU FORGOT YOUR BUMPER.
I used to work in Lake Orion, MI. It’s pronounced or-ee-in there.
Man, Bumpkin went 100% informative with the comments this week. STOP TRYING TO MAKE US LEARN
Hello Folks, I've been a bit sick and in bed - thank you for the podcast, always cheers me up.
The topic I’ve been most excited for and they spent half of the episode on other topics lol
Aside from Nate being Michael Scott. Who does Aaron and Broccoli Soup fill in for when it comes to characters on The Office? Hoping to hear for a part 2. You guys are great and make Wednesday my favorite day of the week. Btw I have 100% faith Nate doesn’t mess this up while reading this comment on the next episode.
Brian- Toby
Aaron- Pete
“Is Nate and Michael Scott the same person?” Wow, folks!
Is they the same person? *in nate's impression of brian's accent
@@thecreativechristianpod 😂🤣
Beetlejuice, do you know what TV service offers ‘The Office’ series? Sorry for the comment but I’m just working my way through the podcasts in order. Thank you!
Idk James spader was hilarious to me
Did Aaron gasp when he downloaded the office on iTunes?
"i like the british office more than the american office" is the same as saying "i like nateland more than aaronland". aaronland put nateland on the map, no one heard of nateland before aaronland
Love that Nate said "I was born with type 1 diabetes" as a joke when that's literally what type 1 diabetes means. Anyways, I hope none of you end up getting the beetus, Bing-bong doesn't need any more things to worry about. Can't wait to see Nate in Salt Lake City in February!
I never watched”The Office” until recovering from surgery in 2019. I grew to like it, although they stole my “That’s what she said” line.
My favorite character is Stanley. You’ll understand when you get to be Blueberry Crépes’ age.
Favorite episode:Fire Drill.
I like the way the show (The Office, obviously) shows the absurdity of prejudices & stereotypes.
PS. Blackstrap’s Sopranos story made me belly laugh.
Please do a "The Office - Part 2" episode!
