I loved Dusty's comment about how school should be turning kids into productive humans instead of just preparing them for college. Obviously kids still need their education, but there should also be more focus on teaching them basic life skills. There's a lot more to the real world than just having a college degree.
Breakfast dropped an incredible call back that was missed by Aaron and maybe some listeners too. Aaron is describing the smart board and Biscuits quietly says, “You gasped.” Well done Bernard, well done indeed.
If anyone has ever wondered, "Is there a female version of Dusty somewhere?" I have an answer for you - yes there is, her name is Amber. I've been happily married to her for 9 years. Seconds before Dusty says, "Enneagrams are demonic" Amber kindly informs me that "Enneagrams are demonic". This is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. You're one of the few podcasts we never miss. Thanks, and keep it up.
2:02:25 The Batesville “dismount” was much better than Aaronland’s but could still use some work. I reviewed Nate’s “dismounts” from previous episodes and would like to present “The Art of the Nateland Dismount”. It can be accomplished in three easy steps: 1️⃣ Transition to the Dismount - this can be accomplished by saying phrases like “Alright!”, “We did it!”, “Boom”, or “That’s probably a good place to stop“. This gently let’s the Folks know that the show has unfortunately come to an end. 2️⃣ Express Love - a simple “We love you” will do, but occasionally sprinkle in “This is not lost on us.” 3️⃣ The Sign-off - Ensure the folks that “We’ll see you next week!” followed by a simple “Bye”. Alright, that’s probably a good place to stop. Boom. We love you guys. Thanks for all you do. It’s not lost on us Folks. See you next week. Bye.👋
I mean the four in any combination always kill, they are all very “ relative “. But we all know Nate will put an end to that shenanigans as soon as he’s back.. or he may just not notice like Dusty’s hat!
You HAVE to SWEETEN tea while it is STILL HOT. If you add sugar packets to unsweetened iced tea, it will hardly mix and will clump up at the bottom. I hate when restaurants try to pass off unsweetened tea and a sugar packet as sweet tea. If you’re in the south, make all the tea sweet and the people who need it unsweet have to suffer or go back north.
My daughter and son in law were at Dusty’s show on Saturday night (8/12) and just loved him! I was so happy to see my kids supporting someone from my favorite podcast!
I'm listening to this as a former student AND a former teacher. The trapper keeper was the worst. All class long the kids were riiiiip opening them to get paper and pencils. Lord have mercy. This was a great episode. Very nostalgic. I went to the same school from kindergarten to senior year in high school and still have such fond memories of the whole experience, except for Coach Ellison who would throw erasers at us when we didn't know the answers in Algebra 1. 😂
Perfect timing for this topic. Today is the first day of my 25th year of teaching. It was so great hearing about your school memories. Dusty should bring his Trapper Keeper. I had one of those 4-color click pens you guys spoke about. I thought it was so cool until I saw a pen with 15 different colors in a gift shop at Six Flags. Love the podcast. A+ for everyone!
I almost always listen when I'm in the car and can't get to a place where I can comment. But needed to jump on here and say that I've never related more to Dusty than when he had trouble transitioning from Ad-read voice to comment-reading voice. The night before this released, when I was reading to my kids, I read a rhyming book followed by a storybook. I could not get the rhyming rhythm and cadence out my head to read the storybook properly. My kids had no idea what was going on or why all of a sudden dad forgot how to read. Keep up the great work, love the show!
From kindergarten to 12th grade I went to 14 different schools in 2 countries and 3 states. My father was a career Army Master Sergeant so we moved a lot. I attended middle school in West Germany (pre unification) and it was vastly different than school in the US. We had recess in the winter and routinely would ski or sled on the hills behind the school. I remember a field trip to East Berlin and can vividly remember how there was a lack of color. I mean of course there was color (East Berlin was not filmed in black and white) what I mean is all of the buildings were grey tones, no flowers, all of the cars were black and people wore drab dark colors. It was weird. Our German chaperone advised us not to talk to anyone and stay with the group.
Wow! I am surprised they even allowed your school classes to visit them in East Germany! Can't imagine the communists would want any of the East German children to start to see how good the non-communists had it. Or maybe it was so close to reunification they didn't care anymore? (The East Germans)
Hey guys, love the podcast. It’s funny that the segment about correcting the names of stores, nobody picked up on the incorrect name “Sherman Williams.” It’s “sherwin Williams.” Thanks for always bringing the laughs and holding the pod down while Nate’s out!
Dusty was still correct. The comment about the earth spinning slow because it so so big is irrelevant to the humans on the exterior or the planet moving at 1,000 mph. It has nothing to do with relativity and everything to do with momentum. If you take a ferris wheel and make it a mile wide and put people on the outside, and then have the ferris wheel rotate one time in a minute, the people on the outside are going to be hanging on for dear life.
Aaron, although your point about the band “Eagles” not having a “the” in front of it may be true, you would still say “I am going to the Eagles concert”, just like you would say “I am going to the Blink-182 concert” and not “I’m going to Blink-182 concert.” The “the” helps describe who you’re going to go see at the concert. Love this podcast!
Hey Guys, I absolutely loved this episode. It was so nostalgic and made me happy. I immediately knew I wanted to comment but there were so many things- I literally wanted to interject in during the whole episode, so buckle up: I am from a small town (population 500) in northwest North Dakota. I attended a K-12 school and graduated with 7 of my original 11 classmates (final graduating class of 18 kids - due to neighboring towns closing their schools). Two days before this episode's release, I was back home and had the opportunity to give my daughters a tour of my school and share fond memories. The school has been renovated, but much of it remains the same, which was nice to see that not everything had been transformed. I have to admit I got a bit emotional walking though after all these years. First day of school - I vividly remember waking up at 2am and putting on my first day of school outfit and going back to bed because I was so afraid of oversleeping (I live across the street from the school 😂). My "perfect" outfit for the day? A plaid long-sleeve button down with teal corduroy pants. Again, I am from ND. We started school the middle of August. It was still 85 degrees and we had no air conditioning. Long sleeves and corduroy. As a parent, I respect my mom for letting me walk out that door... it was one of my first natural consequences lessons. When Dusty mentioned Trapper Keepers, I immediately remembered mine with its trio of hot air balloons on the cover. I treasured that thing. I'd love to say it kept me organized or taught me organizational skills, but alas.... I absolutely loved the smell of the ink of erasable pens - which we were finally allowed to use in 6th grade, we felt like we had arrived and were a little naughty using pens in math. My history teacher hand wrote all of his notes long-hand on the board. When he still had a chalkboard, billows of chalk dust would emerge from his classroom at the end of each period. Then he got a white board. After that, students then stumbled out in a haze of fumes. My Norwegian grandmother and all 3 of my mom's siblings say waRsh instead of wash (my mom doesn't). Drove me crazy because I felt (and still feel - towards my aunt & uncles) that it sounds uneducated. And we are from the WAY North.
This pod has quickly become one of my fave’s seriously The funniest pod with comedians who aren’t trying to be funny. It’s just a natural occurrence Dusty is something else and man is his star bright. Love everyone on here tho and y’all are quite the contribution
I also have the same recurring dream as Aaron about going to a college class and it's the day of finals and you've never been to that class before. It's so real and vivid to me that I have on more than one occasion woken my husband up in the middle of the night to ask him if I graduated college. He has that exhausted and annoyed "YES" locked and loaded under his C-PAP mask at this point in our marriage. Also my current career has nothing to do with my degree.
I'm Nate's age, raised in IL but great grandparents were from KY. We somehow DO unironically say "worsh" instead of wash, and "worshrag" instead of washcloth. No idea how it stuck around so long, but you just end up saying it how your Mom says it, I think! 😆
The school I went to my entire life was K - 12 all in the same building. Elementary was down 1 hallway, Jr. High another hallway, high school another hallway. My graduating class had 28 people. Aaron's comment about "that's such a big chunk of your life in 1 room with the same person" really resonates with me! We may have butt heads a lot but so many of my classmates hold very special places in my heart!
One of the worst things that ever happened to me at school was when my mom made me dress up as Ponce De Leon for some Florida history parade. Nothing more embarrassing than wearing tights as a young boy and parading through kids at their meanest stage in life. The good news is, when I was changing in the bathroom stall, which didn’t have locks back than, I tripped and fell into the main part of the bathroom half dressed in front of everyone in there. So I had that going for me…which is nice.
During that pencil bit when Brian said " Nate's back next week" i think we all needed that reminder. You all did a great job but I'm ready for the BAND!
At our high schools in Knox County (TN), all High School seniors are required to take a Personal Finance class that covers how to balance a checkbook, saving for retirement, insurance, etc. I am SO thankful they do this. While we covered this with our son, having him hear it from someone other than us helped to confirm it (aka proving we're not crazy).
Sometimes I wonder if this podcast only exists because Bandit Bates got in some serious trouble and his probation was helping Know-Nothing Nate get his G.E.D. They brought in Warden Weber to make sure Bad Boy actually teaches Nate the correct stuff and Skeptic Slay is there to test Nate to see if he’s actually learning.
When my son was younger, he went to a year-round school here in North Carolina. The students would attend 9 weeks of class, then have a 3-week break. There would be a 6-week break starting at the end of May, and when the kids returned from that, they'd begin a new school year/grade. This had the new school year starting in July. By the time traditional school started in late August, the year-rounders were almost halfway to their first break. I switch him to traditional school in 4th grade, then homeschooling him from 6th grade until he graduated -early- at 16 years old (his current age). He was able to move at his own pace, and we designed his curriculum for him. He's taking a year off to work part time and decide what he wants to do next - military, work, college...
Just finished the “Names” episode and thought I could leave a comment here. When I was born, my mom and dad both forgot how to spell “Michael” and were too embarrassed to ask someone how to spell it. So they spelled it M-I-C-H-E-A-L instead of A-E-L which is the correct way. Breakfast also included my comment in “The Dakotas” episode and had my name as “Aaron Friese” instead of “Micheal Friese.” Thanks to Breakfast, I am now going through an identity crisis in my life. Once I get through this crisis maybe I can move onto how rain works and then global warming. Love you guys!
Dusty, when it comes to the “planets” I feel like we might be watching some of the same videos. I just wrapped up a 6 hour video on some pretty interesting stuff on the old world.
Hello Folks! and Hey Bear! Clearing up Aaron's doubts about "warsh." My mom grew up all over Texas and still says "warsh" to this day. It is "warshcloth", "warshing machine" and "Warshington DC". The last one got me noticed my senior year in highschool. I said something about "Warshington DC" and my friends stopped me and asked me to spelling then say it. It took a few times before I caught on. It was was genuinely hard to pronounce the "ah" sound in "wash" without concentration for years after. Also regarding the band, "the" Eagles. My mom doesn't ever go to "the ER" she only goes "to ER". Love Nateland and all of each your work. Keep having a good time!
I really love the podcast generally❤, and the ones with just these 3 have been hilarious a more relaxed with no freaking golf talk and without the 3000 ummm uhhhhhh yeah no ummm uhhh stuff. These eps were refreshing. Made me like the pod again. Good job guys.❤
Love this episode about school. I got suspended the final day of 7th grade and the first 9days of 8th grade all over a photo. I was in science class and had a disposable camera. We were taking photos of each other as some of my friends were moving that summer. I snapped the photo and the put up a homemade gang sign. Our old teacher didn’t know what that was but sent us all to the principals office. We tried crying our way out of it but that didn’t work. I served my time but they moved over the summer. Needless to say I was the coolest kid when I returned to 8th grade bc I had already been in in school suspension at the high school for 9days.
I’m laughing so hard at Sherman Williams. My mom was an interior designer and iKnow without a doubt it’s Sherwin-Williams. 😂 but it’s hilarious to hear both Aaron and Dusty confidently get that wrong. We’re having a good time!
Back at episode 100 I told my wife I wasn't sure about this Dusty character. Now just this week I told her I'm not totally sold on the moon landing anymore. Clearly, I'm having a good time.
Agree with Aaron..was the night before my final nursing exam in college and I was told by professor I couldn’t sit for exam because I didn’t pass social studies in 8th grade. That dream/nightmare came directly from schools drilling in the “It’s going on your permanent record.” I did pass in 8th grade, but I had to think about it for a bit when I woke up 😂
My brother and I went to a K-12 public school in a small town about an hour and a half away from Nashville. There was a teacher that believed in and would talk about Bigfoot in class. The high school football team had a 61 game losing streak, but they did eventually go to the playoffs in 2014. They were finally having a good time.
I think Dusty's science conspiracy theories add a really wonderful tangent to the conversation. Can I formally request another science experiment show testing some of Dusty's theories?
First day of school I’d be wearing my Kmart shirt, 4 stripe adidas shoes, and my knock off “Tommy” cologne called Jimmy. At least I could look forward to drinking that Dr. Thunder at lunch. (That was Walmart’s version of Dr Pepper). Needless to say…best part of adulthood is buying name brand stuff finally!
We didn’t have the school bus when I went to my small Catholic grammar school either. As a kindergartner I walked a little over a half a mile. Crossing guards helped kids cross the busier streets. Once my ten year old cousin was babysitting and came to walk me home. Now, my mom told me I should invite Richard to play that day. She meant at school. Being 5, I didn’t grasp the full picture and thought she meant after school. So I told the kindergarten teacher, my cousin, and Richard he was coming to my house to play. Everyone was like, “umm, we don’t know about this,” but I confidently assured them, “it’s okay, my Mom said so.” He was released into our custody, and being kids, we took the long way home, stopping at the candy store first. Afterwards, we meandered the rest of the half mile trek home slowly, stopping to play at a park, teasing a neighbors dog behind a fence, probably getting home an hour later. Meanwhile, Richard’s mom showed up to pick up her son and found out he had been kidnapped by us (keep in mind, no cell phones). It took two neighboring police departments to assist in the manhunt, but eventually they rang our doorbell and the case was solved. Ah, the 70s were a simpler time…!
I love you guys, but there may have been a moment where I was waiting for Nate to chime in with "People are listening to this." Let's go, Folks, haha still a fan of BADland 😅
Hey, I'm Nateland famous now! They read my comment. To clarify, in the example that was brought up with an ant and a human walking...while we are the ant in the scenario, the human is the earth and not walking (spinning) "fast" as Brian was trying to communicate. The only flaw in the example is that the ant would be crawling on the human while they were walking, and the ant wouldn't notice how "fast" the person was walking.
I read that dreaming about forgetting your locker combination or not being prepared for a class in high school is a subconscious sign that you have a lot going on in your life at the time. I have a similar recurring dream that I can’t find a class in High school and it’s always when I’m really busy in real life. Luckily, I can lucid dream and sometimes look down in the dream to see that I have on a wedding ring and then realize I’m in a dream and start to relax and fun in the dream.
Listening to the program on August 9th, enjoying the zoo talk and the analogy that kept being brought up about prison/jail. It was said that we don’t treat jail/prison like zoos. Well, in Southern Indiana, in the 80s we sure did. When I was in 6th grade, one of our field trips was to tour the county lockup. The school was trying to show us what happens if we mess up and to kind of scare us straight, not that we were a rough group or anything. I recall little, but what I remember is meeting the sheriff, then we took a tour led by jailers. I recall the cprisoners were in cells behind doors with rectangular windows in them, like a classroom door. There were prisoners crowded around the window, motioning for us to open the door. Which of course we just laughed and pointed at them like “ha ha ha, you’re in there, and we’re out here”. We then all piled into the “yard”, having a seat on the concrete. We heard two of the prisoners give talks about why they were in jail, the length of their sentence, and to stay away from drugs. While they were talking, everyone was whispering about how both guys were uncles to one of my friends. It mortified him. Of course, I felt bad for my friend but still couldn’t help but laugh about the whole situation. Love the podcast and everything you guys are doing! I am a 4thgrade teacher now and full-time preacher, so I appreciate the hilarious, clean material all of you provide for my family and I to listen to. Thank you!
My second grade teacher made my home town’s front page newspaper when she switched from a chalk board to a white board. This was my 2002-2003 school year in Mountain Home Arkansas. Go Bombers!
Long-time listener, and long-time caller. I love you guys and look forward to every Wednesday. I find it peculiar that Dusty tried to dismantle the legitimacy of the telescope by referencing a UA-cam video. So Dusty used his eyes to disprove someone else using their eyes. I think a lot of people would be quicker to trust the business end of a telescope, than a random UA-cam video.
Hey Brian how's ur week been? I love how u took good ol' advice as am answer from dusty when u asked what kind of advice. Also there was an episode of twilight zone where an astronaut crashed and found nice aliens that gave him a house then his front window opened and he was a zoo attraction! Take care big boss buddy bates
I saw Nate live at Perth WA and was sufficiently amused! Big show and very entertaining, could you guys do a show about Quantum Physics as the discussion focus. I think it would be hilarious! Much love to Baron and Aaron aswell for holding up the show, was hoping to see you both live as well.
Dusty and Notre Dame both pronouncing Sherwin Williams as “Sherman Williams” is absolutely mind boggling. I cheffed up paint orders at Sherwin for close to 2 years and heard approximately 647 old women call it Sherman Millings. Love y’all. P.S. Nate, next time you’re in Iowa let’s swing the sticks.
I had a big social studies test in Jr. High. We weren't allowed anything on our desks while taking the test. So Instead of studying the night before I spent hours modifying the guts of a mechanical pencil. I then copied all the answers from the study guide and wrote them extremely small on a piece of paper. I rolled the paper super tight and stuffed it into the pencil shaft. The big idea was to unscrew the pencil come test time, remove the paper and cup it in the palm of my hand. Test time arrived and for the life of me I could not retrieve the paper from the inside of the pencil. It was jammed. I tried so hard. The house always wins. I also had after school detention my last day of high school. But that's a story for another time. P.S. The Chosen really is a good show.
I love Nate, but the show is sooooo much more entertaining without all the golf talk. You three are so hilarious and much more comfortable on your own. Much more relaxed show and more humor. May God Bless. Diann
The president of the small university that I attended in Jackson Tennessee told everyone he would decide whether or not to cancel classes for a snow day by looking out his window to see if the squirrels were out. If they were then that meant people could be out in the snow too. One day the entire city was basically shutdown after an unusually heavy snowfall but apparently the squirrels were “having a good time” at his house. It wasn’t just a dusting of snow where everyone panics, it was a few inches and the roads were completely covered. In between classes that day I saw a flyer on a bulletin board advertising a “Faculty Squirrel Hunt and Stew” at the university president’s house. If I remember correctly, the snow day policy was a little bit better after that.
I'm 42 and I still have the "I forgot I was in the class" dream, or some variation thereof, on a regular basis. It's usually college classes, but sometimes it's highschool. Sometimes it's a college class but the setting is my high school.
I’m 31, in Oklahoma. In high school we had both chalkboards and white boards. But I think around my freshman year a couple of the elementary classes got smart boards to “test” them for the district.
From rural north Alabama, I have wondered about ‘warsh’ also, as many people I know still say ‘warsh’. It originated from the Scotts Irish settlers and is still used (though not as much) throughout southern Appalachia. I now say it to keep the tradition going 😂
I’ve had scary school dreams ever since I graduated college in 2015. The dreams change but the worst ones are when I have an online class that I forgot to do the whole semester. There is nothing like waking up with anxiety, lol. Also, dusty I agree with you on most things and yes the enneagram has pagan roots, lol (“it’s demonic” was on cue!). So, I really think you should consider watching The Passion. It IS very hard to watch, but a very visceral experience. Unlike most Christian media, the acting is good and the direction, of course, is excellent. I watch it every Good Friday along with reading the Scriptures, and it leads to an amazing time of reflection and prayer!
If I want to buy tickets to my favorite comedians tours & you guys are doing 2 shows in one night. As a fan, should I always pick the second show? Love you guys!
I took the time to find this podcast on UA-cam just to comment that if I hear my husband say "on the nateland podcast" one more time I'm going to go crazy 😂 At least once a day a hear a report on something one of y'all said and I've never wanted to know less about a group of people in my life 😄 this isn't personal. It didn't start this way. But I can't take it anymore. Why are you doing this to me? 😂 Oh wait. I know it's because of the pandemic and you wanted to keep the life of comedy going. How do I know this? Not because I listened to the podcast....
Hey yall, Brain of the operation doing solid shout out, My mother is a 3rd grade teacher and around an Air Base with students coming and going but she had a student wear her private school's uniform for a full year. Shout out AaronWorld, uniforms mean hail storm.
I loved Dusty's comment about how school should be turning kids into productive humans instead of just preparing them for college. Obviously kids still need their education, but there should also be more focus on teaching them basic life skills. There's a lot more to the real world than just having a college degree.
Breakfast dropped an incredible call back that was missed by Aaron and maybe some listeners too. Aaron is describing the smart board and Biscuits quietly says, “You gasped.”
Well done Bernard, well done indeed.
That was great.
Yes!
Best line ever, Dusty:"That sounds like something I would say one time"
I remember him saying it 😆 it was only like 3 episodes ago
Timestamp or it didn't...
“No bueno.” This is why we love you, Brian. 🤜🏻
If anyone has ever wondered, "Is there a female version of Dusty somewhere?" I have an answer for you - yes there is, her name is Amber. I've been happily married to her for 9 years. Seconds before Dusty says, "Enneagrams are demonic" Amber kindly informs me that "Enneagrams are demonic". This is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. You're one of the few podcasts we never miss. Thanks, and keep it up.
I thought something similar, but didn't say it because 1- I was listening alone, and 2 - I knew Dusty would chime in. 😂
We ❤ Based Amber

2:02:25 The Batesville “dismount” was much better than Aaronland’s but could still use some work. I reviewed Nate’s “dismounts” from previous episodes and would like to present “The Art of the Nateland Dismount”. It can be accomplished in three easy steps:
1️⃣ Transition to the Dismount - this can be accomplished by saying phrases like “Alright!”, “We did it!”, “Boom”, or “That’s probably a good place to stop“. This gently let’s the Folks know that the show has unfortunately come to an end.
2️⃣ Express Love - a simple “We love you” will do, but occasionally sprinkle in “This is not lost on us.”
3️⃣ The Sign-off - Ensure the folks that “We’ll see you next week!” followed by a simple “Bye”.
Alright, that’s probably a good place to stop. Boom. We love you guys. Thanks for all you do. It’s not lost on us Folks. See you next week. Bye.👋
Great episode. The school pics are a hoot & “warshin’” is REAL
Can't believe how sweet and soft hearted Dusty is! His thoughts on cinema almost brought a tear to my eye. Keep up the love and light dood!
What were his thoughts on cinema? I honestly missed that.
Dusty tries (and succeeds) to magnify the light and love of Jesus Christ in this dark world 🎉 --|----
human suffering that is too real he does not want to see@@brianbatescomedy
Dusty fills in for Nate perfectly in the way he can’t remember things he said just One week earlier.
someone should make a Buzzfeed quiz for "Which Nateland comedian are you?"
I love the fact that the boys can hold down 2 episodes without the “Nate” part of “Nateland” and it still be highly entertaining. 😂🙌
Dont need him. The Land podcast
@@0Akeldama0 It’s actually way less rude, that’s for sure. 🤣
Bro you're right. Nate has become kinda a prick
Let's be honest, Dusty is doing the heavy "comedic lifting" at any moment and slightly, SLIGHTLY less so when Nate's track suit shows up!
I mean the four in any combination always kill, they are all very “ relative “. But we all know Nate will put an end to that shenanigans as soon as he’s back.. or he may just not notice like Dusty’s hat!
The pod is now in full stride when Aaron is showing Dusty his "rubber pen"
You HAVE to SWEETEN tea while it is STILL HOT. If you add sugar packets to unsweetened iced tea, it will hardly mix and will clump up at the bottom.
I hate when restaurants try to pass off unsweetened tea and a sugar packet as sweet tea. If you’re in the south, make all the tea sweet and the people who need it unsweet have to suffer or go back north.
THANK YOU
I truly never thought I would ever have a comment read on here,but I got mine read THREE times! Thanks Dusty 😂
31:25 How did “Sherman Williams” just slip by everybody 😂 for a minute I thought they were talking about some guy, not a brand of paint.
I saw the title “school” and I have a feeling this will be a good one! 😂
Dusty is going to have some good thoughts on “school”
OH MAN! Pencil break and Trapper Keepers - talk about bringing back memories LOL.
We had Pencil Break tournaments with brackets & everything
The picture of young Beanie Baby just melted my heart! Very wholesome and nostalgic.
My daughter and son in law were at Dusty’s show on Saturday night (8/12) and just loved him! I was so happy to see my kids supporting someone from my favorite podcast!
"I like to get wild with it" :Dusty when talking about school uniforms....just the best. Well done boys!
Going to see Dusty Friday in KC!!! Soooooooo pumped! Hope to get a picture!
I'm listening to this as a former student AND a former teacher. The trapper keeper was the worst. All class long the kids were riiiiip opening them to get paper and pencils. Lord have mercy.
This was a great episode. Very nostalgic. I went to the same school from kindergarten to senior year in high school and still have such fond memories of the whole experience, except for Coach Ellison who would throw erasers at us when we didn't know the answers in Algebra 1. 😂
Perfect timing for this topic. Today is the first day of my 25th year of teaching. It was so great hearing about your school memories. Dusty should bring his Trapper Keeper. I had one of those 4-color click pens you guys spoke about. I thought it was so cool until I saw a pen with 15 different colors in a gift shop at Six Flags. Love the podcast. A+ for everyone!
For the record, this episode took me and my wife (40yr old) back to our childhood. So nestalgic.
I almost always listen when I'm in the car and can't get to a place where I can comment. But needed to jump on here and say that I've never related more to Dusty than when he had trouble transitioning from Ad-read voice to comment-reading voice. The night before this released, when I was reading to my kids, I read a rhyming book followed by a storybook. I could not get the rhyming rhythm and cadence out my head to read the storybook properly. My kids had no idea what was going on or why all of a sudden dad forgot how to read. Keep up the great work, love the show!
I'm 33 and Dusty's time in school sounds very similar to mine. Chalkboard to whiteboard, the games like thump, etc. It was a wild time.
From kindergarten to 12th grade I went to 14 different schools in 2 countries and 3 states. My father was a career Army Master Sergeant so we moved a lot. I attended middle school in West Germany (pre unification) and it was vastly different than school in the US. We had recess in the winter and routinely would ski or sled on the hills behind the school. I remember a field trip to East Berlin and can vividly remember how there was a lack of color. I mean of course there was color (East Berlin was not filmed in black and white) what I mean is all of the buildings were grey tones, no flowers, all of the cars were black and people wore drab dark colors.

Wow! I am surprised they even allowed your school classes to visit them in East Germany! Can't imagine the communists would want any of the East German children to start to see how good the non-communists had it. Or maybe it was so close to reunification they didn't care anymore? (The East Germans)
Hey guys, love the podcast. It’s funny that the segment about correcting the names of stores, nobody picked up on the incorrect name “Sherman Williams.” It’s “sherwin Williams.” Thanks for always bringing the laughs and holding the pod down while Nate’s out!
53:12 dusty explaining relativity to himself while trying to debate it is outstanding
This right here 😂😂😂
Dusty was still correct. The comment about the earth spinning slow because it so so big is irrelevant to the humans on the exterior or the planet moving at 1,000 mph. It has nothing to do with relativity and everything to do with momentum. If you take a ferris wheel and make it a mile wide and put people on the outside, and then have the ferris wheel rotate one time in a minute, the people on the outside are going to be hanging on for dear life.
Aaron, although your point about the band “Eagles” not having a “the” in front of it may be true, you would still say “I am going to the Eagles concert”, just like you would say “I am going to the Blink-182 concert” and not “I’m going to Blink-182 concert.” The “the” helps describe who you’re going to go see at the concert. Love this podcast!
I'm curious what Dusty believes is happening when there is a lunar eclipse? Also, hopefully you guys will do an episode or 2 about the solar system!
Hey Guys, I absolutely loved this episode. It was so nostalgic and made me happy. I immediately knew I wanted to comment but there were so many things- I literally wanted to interject in during the whole episode, so buckle up:
I am from a small town (population 500) in northwest North Dakota. I attended a K-12 school and graduated with 7 of my original 11 classmates (final graduating class of 18 kids - due to neighboring towns closing their schools). Two days before this episode's release, I was back home and had the opportunity to give my daughters a tour of my school and share fond memories. The school has been renovated, but much of it remains the same, which was nice to see that not everything had been transformed. I have to admit I got a bit emotional walking though after all these years.
First day of school - I vividly remember waking up at 2am and putting on my first day of school outfit and going back to bed because I was so afraid of oversleeping (I live across the street from the school 😂). My "perfect" outfit for the day? A plaid long-sleeve button down with teal corduroy pants. Again, I am from ND. We started school the middle of August. It was still 85 degrees and we had no air conditioning. Long sleeves and corduroy. As a parent, I respect my mom for letting me walk out that door... it was one of my first natural consequences lessons.
When Dusty mentioned Trapper Keepers, I immediately remembered mine with its trio of hot air balloons on the cover. I treasured that thing. I'd love to say it kept me organized or taught me organizational skills, but alas....
I absolutely loved the smell of the ink of erasable pens - which we were finally allowed to use in 6th grade, we felt like we had arrived and were a little naughty using pens in math.
My history teacher hand wrote all of his notes long-hand on the board. When he still had a chalkboard, billows of chalk dust would emerge from his classroom at the end of each period. Then he got a white board. After that, students then stumbled out in a haze of fumes.
My Norwegian grandmother and all 3 of my mom's siblings say waRsh instead of wash (my mom doesn't). Drove me crazy because I felt (and still feel - towards my aunt & uncles) that it sounds uneducated. And we are from the WAY North.
This pod has quickly become one of my fave’s seriously
The funniest pod with comedians who aren’t trying to be funny. It’s just a natural occurrence
Dusty is something else and man is his star bright. Love everyone on here tho and y’all are quite the contribution
I also have the same recurring dream as Aaron about going to a college class and it's the day of finals and you've never been to that class before. It's so real and vivid to me that I have on more than one occasion woken my husband up in the middle of the night to ask him if I graduated college. He has that exhausted and annoyed "YES" locked and loaded under his C-PAP mask at this point in our marriage. Also my current career has nothing to do with my degree.
I'm Nate's age, raised in IL but great grandparents were from KY. We somehow DO unironically say "worsh" instead of wash, and "worshrag" instead of washcloth. No idea how it stuck around so long, but you just end up saying it how your Mom says it, I think! 😆
Is your area code 618, 217, or 815?
1:06:00 - Aaron looks just like that kid from 2 and a Half men. 😂
The school I went to my entire life was K - 12 all in the same building. Elementary was down 1 hallway, Jr. High another hallway, high school another hallway. My graduating class had 28 people. Aaron's comment about "that's such a big chunk of your life in 1 room with the same person" really resonates with me! We may have butt heads a lot but so many of my classmates hold very special places in my heart!
I've known several people here in Georgia who would say "warsh" instead of wash. They also said "warter" and George "Warshington."
I just finished watching that Dock Brawl, and all I could think was “that one guy definitely swam to that fight, Nate would be so proud”.
I think I actually liked this week's better than last week's! Great job, guys!
One of the worst things that ever happened to me at school was when my mom made me dress up as Ponce De Leon for some Florida history parade. Nothing more embarrassing than wearing tights as a young boy and parading through kids at their meanest stage in life. The good news is, when I was changing in the bathroom stall, which didn’t have locks back than, I tripped and fell into the main part of the bathroom half dressed in front of everyone in there. So I had that going for me…which is nice.
Oh no!! That's all just horrible! Glad you made it through!
During that pencil bit when Brian said " Nate's back next week" i think we all needed that reminder. You all did a great job but I'm ready for the BAND!
Dusty continuing the Nateland tradition of having the perfect item for the podcast sitting at their house. I.E. Trapper Keepers, Baseball Gloves, etc.
At our high schools in Knox County (TN), all High School seniors are required to take a Personal Finance class that covers how to balance a checkbook, saving for retirement, insurance, etc. I am SO thankful they do this. While we covered this with our son, having him hear it from someone other than us helped to confirm it (aka proving we're not crazy).
Sometimes I wonder if this podcast only exists because Bandit Bates got in some serious trouble and his probation was helping Know-Nothing Nate get his G.E.D. They brought in Warden Weber to make sure Bad Boy actually teaches Nate the correct stuff and Skeptic Slay is there to test Nate to see if he’s actually learning.
When my son was younger, he went to a year-round school here in North Carolina. The students would attend 9 weeks of class, then have a 3-week break. There would be a 6-week break starting at the end of May, and when the kids returned from that, they'd begin a new school year/grade. This had the new school year starting in July. By the time traditional school started in late August, the year-rounders were almost halfway to their first break. I switch him to traditional school in 4th grade, then homeschooling him from 6th grade until he graduated -early- at 16 years old (his current age). He was able to move at his own pace, and we designed his curriculum for him. He's taking a year off to work part time and decide what he wants to do next - military, work, college...
Just finished the “Names” episode and thought I could leave a comment here. When I was born, my mom and dad both forgot how to spell “Michael” and were too embarrassed to ask someone how to spell it. So they spelled it M-I-C-H-E-A-L instead of A-E-L which is the correct way. Breakfast also included my comment in “The Dakotas” episode and had my name as “Aaron Friese” instead of “Micheal Friese.” Thanks to Breakfast, I am now going through an identity crisis in my life. Once I get through this crisis maybe I can move onto how rain works and then global warming. Love you guys!
Trapper keeper is such a hilarious name for a thing. Likw walkie talkie.
Dusty, when it comes to the “planets” I feel like we might be watching some of the same videos. I just wrapped up a 6 hour video on some pretty interesting stuff on the old world.
Holly: I guess I'm just 'chopped liver' Bargatze??
Shows up more than Nate. 😂 🐨
Hello Folks! and Hey Bear! Clearing up Aaron's doubts about "warsh." My mom grew up all over Texas and still says "warsh" to this day. It is "warshcloth", "warshing machine" and "Warshington DC". The last one got me noticed my senior year in highschool. I said something about "Warshington DC" and my friends stopped me and asked me to spelling then say it. It took a few times before I caught on. It was was genuinely hard to pronounce the "ah" sound in "wash" without concentration for years after. Also regarding the band, "the" Eagles. My mom doesn't ever go to "the ER" she only goes "to ER".
Love Nateland and all of each your work. Keep having a good time!
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻 Let the day come on in 🌞 We are having a good time. Thanks for all the laughs Dusty
The Coup was successful! Let the Natelessville Podcast begin
I really love the podcast generally❤, and the ones with just these 3 have been hilarious a more relaxed with no freaking golf talk and without the 3000 ummm uhhhhhh yeah no ummm uhhh stuff. These eps were refreshing. Made me like the pod again. Good job guys.❤
The white background during the Zocdoc ad burned my retinas. We're having a good time.
Love this episode about school. I got suspended the final day of 7th grade and the first 9days of 8th grade all over a photo. I was in science class and had a disposable camera. We were taking photos of each other as some of my friends were moving that summer. I snapped the photo and the put up a homemade gang sign. Our old teacher didn’t know what that was but sent us all to the principals office. We tried crying our way out of it but that didn’t work. I served my time but they moved over the summer. Needless to say I was the coolest kid when I returned to 8th grade bc I had already been in in school suspension at the high school for 9days.
I’m laughing so hard at Sherman Williams. My mom was an interior designer and iKnow without a doubt it’s Sherwin-Williams. 😂 but it’s hilarious to hear both Aaron and Dusty confidently get that wrong.
We’re having a good time!
Back at episode 100 I told my wife I wasn't sure about this Dusty character. Now just this week I told her I'm not totally sold on the moon landing anymore. Clearly, I'm having a good time.
Agree with Aaron..was the night before my final nursing exam in college and I was told by professor I couldn’t sit for exam because I didn’t pass social studies in 8th grade. That dream/nightmare came directly from schools drilling in the “It’s going on your permanent record.” I did pass in 8th grade, but I had to think about it for a bit when I woke up 😂
My brother and I went to a K-12 public school in a small town about an hour and a half away from Nashville. There was a teacher that believed in and would talk about Bigfoot in class. The high school football team had a 61 game losing streak, but they did eventually go to the playoffs in 2014. They were finally having a good time.
Red Boiling Springs?
I think Dusty's science conspiracy theories add a really wonderful tangent to the conversation. Can I formally request another science experiment show testing some of Dusty's theories?
Shocked Aaron didn't rock sunglasses with Daddy Nate away!
Brian played my comment perfectly and Dusty may be one of the only people i've ever heard get my last name right on the first try.
The the Jesus body cam cracked me up so hard! I needed that thanks guy!
Sherman Williams 😂😂😂😂
It is Sherwin Williams. Hehehehe that made me giggle
First day of school I’d be wearing my Kmart shirt, 4 stripe adidas shoes, and my knock off “Tommy” cologne called Jimmy. At least I could look forward to drinking that Dr. Thunder at lunch. (That was Walmart’s version of Dr Pepper).
Needless to say…best part of adulthood is buying name brand stuff finally!
We didn’t have the school bus when I went to my small Catholic grammar school either. As a kindergartner I walked a little over a half a mile. Crossing guards helped kids cross the busier streets. Once my ten year old cousin was babysitting and came to walk me home.
Now, my mom told me I should invite Richard to play that day. She meant at school. Being 5, I didn’t grasp the full picture and thought she meant after school.
So I told the kindergarten teacher, my cousin, and Richard he was coming to my house to play. Everyone was like, “umm, we don’t know about this,” but I confidently assured them, “it’s okay, my Mom said so.”
He was released into our custody, and being kids, we took the long way home, stopping at the candy store first. Afterwards, we meandered the rest of the half mile trek home slowly, stopping to play at a park, teasing a neighbors dog behind a fence, probably getting home an hour later.
Meanwhile, Richard’s mom showed up to pick up her son and found out he had been kidnapped by us (keep in mind, no cell phones). It took two neighboring police departments to assist in the manhunt, but eventually they rang our doorbell and the case was solved. Ah, the 70s were a simpler time…!
I love you guys, but there may have been a moment where I was waiting for Nate to chime in with "People are listening to this." Let's go, Folks, haha still a fan of BADland 😅
Hey, I'm Nateland famous now! They read my comment. To clarify, in the example that was brought up with an ant and a human walking...while we are the ant in the scenario, the human is the earth and not walking (spinning) "fast" as Brian was trying to communicate. The only flaw in the example is that the ant would be crawling on the human while they were walking, and the ant wouldn't notice how "fast" the person was walking.
That is a better example
I read that dreaming about forgetting your locker combination or not being prepared for a class in high school is a subconscious sign that you have a lot going on in your life at the time. I have a similar recurring dream that I can’t find a class in High school and it’s always when I’m really busy in real life. Luckily, I can lucid dream and sometimes look down in the dream to see that I have on a wedding ring and then realize I’m in a dream and start to relax and fun in the dream.
Aaron looking cute af with his hair and beard all trimmed!
Listening to the program on August 9th, enjoying the zoo talk and the analogy that kept being brought up about prison/jail. It was said that we don’t treat jail/prison like zoos. Well, in Southern Indiana, in the 80s we sure did. When I was in 6th grade, one of our field trips was to tour the county lockup. The school was trying to show us what happens if we mess up and to kind of scare us straight, not that we were a rough group or anything. I recall little, but what I remember is meeting the sheriff, then we took a tour led by jailers. I recall the cprisoners were in cells behind doors with rectangular windows in them, like a classroom door. There were prisoners crowded around the window, motioning for us to open the door. Which of course we just laughed and pointed at them like “ha ha ha, you’re in there, and we’re out here”. We then all piled into the “yard”, having a seat on the concrete. We heard two of the prisoners give talks about why they were in jail, the length of their sentence, and to stay away from drugs. While they were talking, everyone was whispering about how both guys were uncles to one of my friends. It mortified him. Of course, I felt bad for my friend but still couldn’t help but laugh about the whole situation. Love the podcast and everything you guys are doing! I am a 4thgrade teacher now and full-time preacher, so I appreciate the hilarious, clean material all of you provide for my family and I to listen to. Thank you!
My second grade teacher made my home town’s front page newspaper when she switched from a chalk board to a white board. This was my 2002-2003 school year in Mountain Home Arkansas. Go Bombers!
Long-time listener, and long-time caller. I love you guys and look forward to every Wednesday. I find it peculiar that Dusty tried to dismantle the legitimacy of the telescope by referencing a UA-cam video. So Dusty used his eyes to disprove someone else using their eyes. I think a lot of people would be quicker to trust the business end of a telescope, than a random UA-cam video.
Great episode!
Hey Brian how's ur week been? I love how u took good ol' advice as am answer from dusty when u asked what kind of advice. Also there was an episode of twilight zone where an astronaut crashed and found nice aliens that gave him a house then his front window opened and he was a zoo attraction! Take care big boss buddy bates
I saw Nate live at Perth WA and was sufficiently amused! Big show and very entertaining, could you guys do a show about Quantum Physics as the discussion focus. I think it would be hilarious! Much love to Baron and Aaron aswell for holding up the show, was hoping to see you both live as well.
Baron and Aaron - I love that!!! 😂
Dusty and Notre Dame both pronouncing Sherwin Williams as “Sherman Williams” is absolutely mind boggling. I cheffed up paint orders at Sherwin for close to 2 years and heard approximately 647 old women call it Sherman Millings. Love y’all.
P.S. Nate, next time you’re in Iowa let’s swing the sticks.
1:00:16 Buckteeth Bates showin out! Lol, love it 😂
Enjoyed from Texas!
I had a big social studies test in Jr. High. We weren't allowed anything on our desks while taking the test. So Instead of studying the night before I spent hours modifying the guts of a mechanical pencil. I then copied all the answers from the study guide and wrote them extremely small on a piece of paper. I rolled the paper super tight and stuffed it into the pencil shaft. The big idea was to unscrew the pencil come test time, remove the paper and cup it in the palm of my hand. Test time arrived and for the life of me I could not retrieve the paper from the inside of the pencil. It was jammed. I tried so hard. The house always wins. I also had after school detention my last day of high school. But that's a story for another time.
P.S. The Chosen really is a good show.
I love that college man Weber has absorbed the habit of everything being "unbelievable" and that Dusty and Briggleby don't even notice
Aaron- the correct term for a poop bandit is poopetrator.
I love Nate, but the show is sooooo much more entertaining without all the golf talk. You three are so hilarious and much more comfortable on your own. Much more relaxed show and more humor. May God Bless. Diann
I agree 1000 percent
The president of the small university that I attended in Jackson Tennessee told everyone he would decide whether or not to cancel classes for a snow day by looking out his window to see if the squirrels were out. If they were then that meant people could be out in the snow too. One day the entire city was basically shutdown after an unusually heavy snowfall but apparently the squirrels were “having a good time” at his house. It wasn’t just a dusting of snow where everyone panics, it was a few inches and the roads were completely covered. In between classes that day I saw a flyer on a bulletin board advertising a “Faculty Squirrel Hunt and Stew” at the university president’s house. If I remember correctly, the snow day policy was a little bit better after that.
I'm 42 and I still have the "I forgot I was in the class" dream, or some variation thereof, on a regular basis. It's usually college classes, but sometimes it's highschool. Sometimes it's a college class but the setting is my high school.
Apparently these dreams happen when you’re going through something stressful 🤷♀️. I have them occasionally, and usually when life is stressful.
@@tkelly3519 They happen too often for that to be the cause for me. I think it's just eternal punishment for how much I skipped class in college.
I saw Dusty film his special in Knoxville in July. One that thing drops instead of worrying about selling out, he'll be adding shows.
I’m 31, in Oklahoma. In high school we had both chalkboards and white boards. But I think around my freshman year a couple of the elementary classes got smart boards to “test” them for the district.
Aaron “ya know” Weber
From rural north Alabama, I have wondered about ‘warsh’ also, as many people I know still say ‘warsh’. It originated from the Scotts Irish settlers and is still used (though not as much) throughout southern Appalachia. I now say it to keep the tradition going 😂
When they said no Bargatze's wanted to be on the show...the family dog (Holly?) (who I haven't seen in an episode in a long time) strolls in 🤣😂
I’ve had scary school dreams ever since I graduated college in 2015. The dreams change but the worst ones are when I have an online class that I forgot to do the whole semester. There is nothing like waking up with anxiety, lol.
Also, dusty I agree with you on most things and yes the enneagram has pagan roots, lol (“it’s demonic” was on cue!). So, I really think you should consider watching The Passion. It IS very hard to watch, but a very visceral experience. Unlike most Christian media, the acting is good and the direction, of course, is excellent. I watch it every Good Friday along with reading the Scriptures, and it leads to an amazing time of reflection and prayer!
If I want to buy tickets to my favorite comedians tours & you guys are doing 2 shows in one night. As a fan, should I always pick the second show? Love you guys!
Dusty threw Number 2 pencils on the bus but Aaron had a guy who threw actual Number 2!
Just passed through Lebanon on the way to Franklin, KY and now I know why Baseboard talks about Crossville like it’s Hawaii
I took the time to find this podcast on UA-cam just to comment that if I hear my husband say "on the nateland podcast" one more time I'm going to go crazy 😂 At least once a day a hear a report on something one of y'all said and I've never wanted to know less about a group of people in my life 😄 this isn't personal. It didn't start this way. But I can't take it anymore. Why are you doing this to me? 😂 Oh wait. I know it's because of the pandemic and you wanted to keep the life of comedy going. How do I know this? Not because I listened to the podcast....
Dusty reekin of booze and smoke being a big brother is hilarious.
Hello from BATESville, AR!!! 🤚🤚
I 100% agree with Dusty on zoos.
Hey yall, Brain of the operation doing solid shout out, My mother is a 3rd grade teacher and around an Air Base with students coming and going but she had a student wear her private school's uniform for a full year. Shout out AaronWorld, uniforms mean hail storm.
